Ginger Flank Steak With Sake Glazed Vegetables Recipes

Steps:

• In a nonreactive dish or large resealable plastic bag, combine all ingredients except steak and mix thoroughly. Add steak and turn to thoroughly coat. Cover dish or close bag and allow to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. (If you are making ahead, cover, and place in refrigerator. Can be marinated up to 24 hours in refrigerator.)
• Once steak has marinated, remove from refrigerator and bring to room temperature for at least 15 minutes. Heat a lightly oiled grill pan to medium-high heat. When pan is heated, remove steak from marinade, shake off excess, add to pan and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes per side for medium rare.
• Transfer to a cutting board, season with additional salt and freshly ground black pepper and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain and serve.

Steps:

• In a large bowl cover the rice with cold water, stir the mixture, and pour off the water. Continue to wash the rice in the same manner until the water runs clear. Drain the rice well, in a heavy saucepan combine it with 1 1/2 cups water, and let the mixture stand for 30 minutes. Bring the liquid to a boil, covered, over high heat and simmer the rice, covered, over low heat for 10 minutes. Cook the rice over high heat for 1 minute and remove the pan from the heat. Let the rice stand, covered, for 15 minutes and transfer it to a ceramic of glass bowl.
• While the rice is cooking, in a small stainless steel or enameled saucepan combine the vinegar, the sugar, and the salt and cook the mixture over moderately low heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Let the mixture cool. Add the vinegar mixture, a little at a time, to warm the rice, stirring the mixture gently, and let the vinegared rice cool, covered.
