Easy Korean BBQ to spice up your BBQ scene!

We love Korean BBQ but we really don't go out to eat much with our two small children. So I came up with this marinade that will give me the taste just like the restaurant. This time I used a flank steak which is relatively a tough meat to see how tender it gets. The result was a tender and lean "can't believe it's a flank steak" meat! Try this marinade on boneless short ribs or rib eye steak too. This will definitely add another layer to your BBQ scene!

Ingredients: (2 servings)

• 1 lb flank steak (or rib eye steak/boneless short ribs etc..)
  
• Sugar for rubbing meat
  
• 1/4 cup soysauce
• 3 med-large cloves garlic, grated
• 1/2 tbsp sesame seed
• 1/4 onion, grated
• 2 tbsp sesame seed oil
• 2 tbsp sake
• 2 1/4 tbsp sugar
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1tbsp apple sauce
  

Direction:

1. Rub the steak with sugar and let it rest for 30 min. (This will tenderize the meat)
2. Place the rest of the ingredients in a zip lock bag and mix well
3. Place steak in a marinade zip lock bag
4. Marinade in a refrigerator for at least 1hr
5. Grill or pan fry. Let the steak rest for 5 min covered with a foil before cutting
6. Slice the meat thinly against the grain
