Korean-Style Flank Steak with Gochujang Marinade

A simple marinade does all the heavy lifting here — citrus brightens the umami-rich soy sauce while gochujang adds its signature fermented heat. The lean cut benefits from every minute of marinating time, emerging charred outside and juicy within.

¼ cupsoy sauce
½ lemonfresh lemon juice
1 tbspgochujang
2 lbflank steak

Mix the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, and gochujang in a shallow dish until smooth. Place the steak in the marinade, turning to coat both sides completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, though overnight gives you deeper flavor penetration.

Remove the steak from marinade and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil 4 inches from heat for 6 minutes per side for medium-rare, or grill over high heat to your preferred doneness. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
