Preparation

Step 1
To make the steak, whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, sugar and pepper flakes. Place the steak in a large plastic bag or in a shallow, nonreactive pan. Pour the marinade over the steak and refrigerate for at least 6 hours and up to 36 hours.
Step 2
To make the slaw, whisk together in a large bowl the peanut oil, shallot, chilies, lime juice, sesame oil and salt. Add the cabbage, carrots and scallions to the bowl. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
Step 3
When ready to cook, prepare a charcoal or gas grill or preheat the broiler. Grill or broil the steak, turning once, until it reaches the desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium rare. Allow to rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toss the slaw with the basil and place a mound of slaw on each of 4 plates. Slice the steak thinly on the bias, drape over the slaw and serve.

Broiled the steak rather than grilled it. The beef and the slaw were a huge hit. I especially like being able to do much of the prep work ahead for the marinade.

I added a heaping teaspoon of Chinese Five Spice and marinaded for almost 24 hours. Best flank steak I’ve ever had.

Made the marinated flank steak part and it was delicious. Marinade is full of flavour and not overpowering. Broiled in oven, which worked well.

Slaw: also added half julienned red pepper and some cilantro. Needed a little sweetness so added a splash of seasoned rice vinegar. Has a serrano from garden so used this This would be good with julienned snow peas added and. May e some crushed peanuts

I made the slaw mostly as is but added soy sauce (as suggested by others) and gochugaru flakes because I didn't have the chili peppers on hand. It was delicious!
