Chef Esther's version of a perfect steak. Tender flank steak marinated in a sweet-and-savory Korean BBQ marinade for 24 hours, then flash seared to lock in all that flavor. Endlessly versatile, serve this steak with bowl of rice or noodles for a quick dinner, or to bulk up your favorite salad for a hearty lunch.
