Note

Tip: It is easier to slice the flank steak thinly if it is partially frozen. Place the steak in the freezer for about 30-45 minutes before cutting.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to maintain texture.

Variation: For extra heat, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a splash of chili sauce to the marinade.
