Ginger Flank Steak

Ingredients
-
5 large cloves garlic, peeled
-
1-inch chunk fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
-
1/3 cup thinly sliced scallions (white and tender ight green parts)
-
6 tablespoons peanut oil
-
3-1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
1-1/4 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
-
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
-
2 to 2-1/2 pounds flank steak, trimmed of excess fat
-
Kosher salt
-
1-1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
Directions
1.
Heat the broiler to high with the rack as close to the heat source as possible, or heat a gas grill, covered, to high.
2.
Put the garlic and ginger in a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped. Scrape the sides with a spatula, add the scallions, 3 tablespoons of the peanut oil, 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the sesame oil, and process until the mixture has a paste-like texture and the garlic and ginger are minced. Season well with pepper. Use the thin tip of a sharp knife to score both sides of the meat in a diagonal crosshatch pattern, going across the grain, making each slit about 1/4-inch deep. Put the meat in a 9x13-inch nonreactive dish and season well with salt. Pour the marinade over the meat and rub it into the scored crevices.
3.
Lay the meat either on a cold broiler pan or on the hot grill; broil or grill, turning once, until done to your liking, 8 to 10 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the meat to a warmed serving tray and let it rest for 5 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons peanut oil, 1-1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, 3/4 teaspoon sesame oil, and the rice vinegar. Slice the meat thinly on the diagonal and serve drizzled with the sauce.
