Steak with homemade chinese bbq sauce

This was VERY good!

BBQ sauce recipe (from: https://omnivorescookbook.com/chinese-bbq-sauce/ ).

• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
• 1/4 cup oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
• 2 cloves garlic , grated
• 2 teaspoons ginger , grated
• 1 teaspoon five spice powder
• 3/4 teaspoon salt

Mix everything in small saucepan and simmer at low for 10-15 minutes until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.  Let cool for 10 minutes.

This made about twice as much as we used for a 1 lb steak.

Steak recipe

We used a 1 lb flank steak.  Let come to room temp.  Used 1 Tbsp of oil to brush both sides.  Rubbed with a dry rub (recipe below) and let it sit for ~30 min (not sure if that was important or not).

Heated grill to 450.  Grilled each side for ~ 3 min.  I based both sides and grilled each for about 1.5 min.  Let sit for 10 minutes at the end.

Dry rub

• 1 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoons Chinese chili flakes (or paprika powder for a non-spicy dish)
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons ginger powder
• 2 teaspoons freshly ground Sichuan peppercorns (or ground black pepper)
• 1 teaspoons salt

 (I used ~ 3/4 sichuan ground up and the rest black pepper; I didn't taste the sichuan so I could try more next time).
