We marinated the steak for 24 hours and tasted great...just a little salty. It could have been the brand of fish sauce or chili sauce. Next time I'll try marinating it for half a day and see if that may help. ***Update, we make this about every other week and might be one of my husband's favorite dishes. What we do: I use Lee Kum Kee's Chili Garlic Sauce and Orchids Fish Sauce. We marinade it for about 8 hours and tastes best over a charcoal grill. It's a big hit with guests. We won't cook a flanksteak any other way.

I rated this only 4-stars NOT because I didn't like it, on the contrary. I just thought the way it was written was a little ambiguous. I wasn't sure what type of chili sauce to use. I used Sriracha which is pretty darn hot. This may have contributed to the overall saltiness of the finished product too, not sure. Anyway, marinating the steak overnight (24 hours) produced a slightly too salty, slightly too spicy but overwhelmingly tasty steak! Less marinating could reduce the saltiness and spicyness but I'm afraid it would be at the expense of it's tenderness. As I'm quite happy with it the way it is I don't think I'll chance it :o) Update: I've found that adding 1/4 cup of Thai Sweet Chili Sauce to the marinade then marinating it for 24 hrs produces an excellent finished product. It yields a steak that has a balance of spicy, sweet, and savoury that everyone loves. Caution, my friends let marinate for 48 hours and it got allot hotter.

I had a little doubt at first with the fish sauce but I didn't change a thing in this recipe and so glad! This is a huge hit with my family. I have made it several times now..We eat it with a little peanut sauce on the side. MMM Wonderful!

Flavor was good but WAY too salty! Definitely water it down. I would try again if I could water the sauce down and get it right without ruining perfectly good meat. It was barely edible.

Very tasty, but got very smoky in the house while cooking it. Used my Emeril grill pan to do indoors since I made it in the winter time. Better to do on a warm day with the windows opened if cooking inside. :)

I used a london broil and it worked well.I marinated over night to get the best flavor. I only had hot chili sauce so it was a little spicy but everyone really liked it.Don't let the fish sauce scare you.... It is in alot of asian dishes and you don't even know it.

I thought this was terrific and the hubby loved it as well. I thought it might be too spicy...but, not at all. It was a wee-bit fishy and salty from the fish sauce. Next time, I think I will use half the amount of fish sauce it calls for and replace the other half with low sodium soy sauce. I loved this and I'll be making it again! Thanks!

Yummy! I admit, I never use fish sauce... I always substitute for soy sauce. One note, I sliced my flank steak into strips and skewered them... which made them absorb more marinade and they were a bit too spicy--but I'm sure if I had left them as whole steaks, it would have been just right. Next time I slice and skewer them I think I will back off the chili sauce a bit.

This was delicious. However, due to reasons of convenience (and laziness), I changed a few ingredients - soy sauce instead of fish sauce, tabasco instead of chili sauce, and olive oil instead of sesame oil. It still turned out very tasty! So easy too. Flank steak has always been my favorite, and this just makes it better. Will certainly make again.

I am pretty bummed about how these came out but i think it was my own doing. (hence the 4 stars)My steaks ended up way to salty. It could have been because i marinaded way to long (aprox.24+ hrs) or because of the chili sauce i used. Recipe didnt specify what kind of chili sauce. I have both sweet chili sauce and reg. chili sauce(kind of salty/spicy)which is the one i ended up using. I followed the recipe to a T. I will attempt these again because i like the ingredients in this recipe.Next time i will only marinade 6 hours or so and possibly use sweet chili sauce.

Made this yesterday, since my mother-in-law loves fish sauce and it was pretty much successful. I made her taste it first w/out telling her about the sause & she ABSOLUTELY loved it! The only thing i might suggest is to probably put a litte less of the recommend on the fish and chili sauce because it was a bit on the salty side but other than that it was good. Will do again! Thanx!

I use oyster sauce and a mild asian chilli sauce. I have used it on flank steak and chicken wings and thighs. Everyone seems to like it a lot. Some have even raved about it. I do enjoy it, but sometimes the sesame oil flavor seems a little bit overpowering.

This is a great marinade. I served this with stir fry vegetables & rice noodles but this steak would also work well sliced thinly and served in an asian style salad. I'm really glad I tried the recipe - I'll definately use it again.

Alrighty, I've made this numerous times. With the fish sauce and without (using oyster) and it's absolutely fantastic. We've used it on steak.. YUM.. and pork steaks.. double yum! I'm using it right now on a whole chicken and I can't wait to see how it turns out! I do think I like this with oyster sauce better though. It's alot thicker so coats meat better. Plus fish sauce smell tends to linger and no amount of scrubbing your hands can get rid of the smell :P hehe

When I first made this marinade, I was a little worried about how it would taste because of the disgusting smell of the fish sauce, but everything turned out great. The flank steak was was very tender and juicy, and the chili sauce gave it a little kick but it wasn't so spicy that it burned my mouth.
