Teriyaki Flank Steak on a bed of short grain rice
About this Cook
An evening shift forklift driver with an afternoon after work spanning from 11pm-5am, I have a lot of time on my hands. When I'm not out doing night photography(I enjoy unconventional landscape and long exposure shots) I enjoy cooking from scratch. I don't like overly processed foods, so I've ditched the convenience food for scratch recipes, although I still consider it a travesty to not have at least one box of Kraft Dinner around. I'm a bit of an obsessive compulsive so I tend to take care of appearance as much as quality. I pick up chunks of sashimi salmon on my days off at the asian market across town, and make my own sushi in the middle of the night, but my all time favorite method of cooking is stir frying.

Teriyaki Flank Steak. Amazing example of a great non-continental marinade made from scratch. Recently cooked my first turkey dinner. There was Wagner.

Teriyaki Flank Steak
Definitely a crowd pleaser. Leave it at least for 10 hours in the bag in the fridge. I just poked at the steak repeatedly with the tip of my knife along the grain all over the steak so it wouldn't affect presentation. Like anything its good to practice this recipe before trying it out with the crowd you aim to please but it went well on the first time around marinated for about 10 hours.
