Ginger Soy Flank Steak + Easy sides!!

Ginger Soy Flank Steak
1.2-2 pound flank steak
1 T. minced garlic
1 T. minced ginger
3 scallions, green and white parts, finely chopped
2 T. peanut oil (I used canola plus a little sesame for flavor!)
3 T. soy sauce
2 tsp. rice vinegar

Place steak in flat dish. Mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl, pour over steak. Flip steak a few times to cover, then let sit covered in fridge for 30 min to 24 hours.

Grill over med-high heat or put under broiler, 4-6 min on each side until middle is just pink. While meat cooks, boil remaining marinade in small saucepan. Slice the meat on a diagonal.

Serve with brown rice and edamame for a tasty, healthy meal. YUM.

This is from my new favorite cookbook, "SOS The Six O Clock Scramble to the Rescue". Yep, horrid name for what is a fantastic book. Easy, quick, healthy meals (they all include side suggestions) and rarely does it call for some wacko ingredient. I used canola oil since James is allergic to peanuts, then I threw in a dash of sesame oil for extra flavor. If you like spice, I'd suggest squirting in a bit of Siracha or chili paste. I didn't since we have a toddler who seems to finally be aware of spice. When you boil the marinade to make sauce...dump in a little extra soy if you need more volume. Serve sauce over rice and/or meat. Super easy, the meat is tender, and YUMMY!!!
