BBQ Beef Flank Steak with ssam

My friend Miriam and I decided to share some of our favorite meals so I thought it would be fun to share one meal every day here as well.

Week of Menus' Korean BBQ Beef Flank Steak

cooking note: I even omit the sugar when it's just for my family and it still tastes good. The 24 hour marinade soak is essential! A little chopped ginger is not bad either.

We eat this with rice, romaine lettuce cut in half or so, and ssam(recipe follows).

Saam Recipe:
3 T daengjang (soybean paste)
1 T gojujang (red pepper paste)
1T minced garlic
1T finely chopped onion
1T sesame oil
2 T orange juice or until you get the consistency you want

 Mix it to together and put in a little bowl. Make lettuce wraps by taking a leaf of lettuce and putting meat, rice, and a little ssam, rolling it a bit before putting it in your mouth. I am so happy that my eldest is loving ssam so much. The orange juice helps to cut down on spiciness for kids.

Enjoy!
