1/4 cup soy sauce (I use low sodium)
1/2 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
4 smashed and peeled garlic cloves
4 slices fresh ginger root
5 sliced green onions (white and green parts)
1 1/2 pounds flank steak
about 3 ounces arugula
salt and pepper, to taste
To the cooking:
1. Make the marinade: whisk olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, and light brown sugar until emulsified. Add in the garlic cloves, ginger, and sliced green onions. Pour over steak.

3. Bring the steak to room temperature before grilling; that means about 30 minutes to one hour outside of the fridge.
4. Take the steak our of the marinade but do not discard the marinade - it will become our salad dressing for the arugula. Pat the steak dry and put on grill over medium heat.

5. In order to get nice grill marks, you just want to flip the steak once. After about five minutes, flip the steak. Depending not eh thickness of your steak, 5 minutes per side should get you somewhere close to medium rare. (To make sure, 130F at the thickest part of your steak is medium rare).
Look at those grill marks. |
7. While steak is resting, pour marinade into a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and set aside.
