This recipe is a good freezer meal to have on hand for company or when you have forgotten to lay something out for dinner. If you forgot to lay out dinner, you can put this bag of flank steak in warm water (bag sealed) and it will thaw.

One 2 to 3 lb. Flank Steak
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup brown sugar
2 TBS of spicy sesame oil
4 good size fresh garlic cloves minced
2 TBS of fresh ginger peeled and shredded with lemon zester or cheese shredder
1 TBS of red pepper flakes (use less if you want it less hot)
Use a small bowl and add all ingredients together to make marinate. Use a 9×13 dish for the meat and cover with marinate. Marinate for at least 3 hours. You can even mix this up a day before and marinate the meat overnight in the refrigerator. After removing the meat save marinate.
(If you want to freeze this meal, put the meat and all ingredients in a gallon size bag that you will close well.
Throw it in your freezer for later use.. Make sure you seal the bag well).
Grill on each side 6 to 7 minutes for medium and longer for well done.
When you bring the meat in from the grill, let it rest for about 5 minutes.
Slice thin and cut against the grain of the meat.

“In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create, by the memories you share, by the commitment of time, caring and love you show to one another, and by the hopes for the future you have as individuals and as a family unit”.~Marge Kennedy
