I played with my new version a few times and every time my family devoured it. The recipe I am offering below is actually a doubled recipe from the original because the original wasn’t nearly enough for my crew of five.
It’s super fast and easy to make. Make the marinade the night before and toss the steak in it overnight to make everything go even faster at dinnertime. It’s ideal for a busy weeknight.
I served it with romaine leaves and the kids built “tacos.” I also made rice, so they added that to their “tacos” in addition to eating some meat just mixed with the rice. D added sriacha to restore the kick I eliminated when I axed the nightshades. Of course, kimchi would also be an ideal accompaniment.
You can use either flank steak or skirt steak, although I used flank. Don’t know the difference? This is a great post explaining the two cuts of meat. Also, be sure to cut the meat against the grain before you marinate it or you will end up chewing ad infinitum.
