• score the flank steak by making shallow crisscross cuts on both sides.
• place the olive oil, light brown sugar, red , soy sauce, onion powder, honey, green onions, garlic cloves, garlic vinegar, ground ginger, and garlic powder in a blender. puree until smooth; pour mixture into a resealable plastic bag. add the steak, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
• preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• allow the flank steak to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes. remove the steak from the marinade, and shake off excess. pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside.
• grill the steak on the preheated grill until it starts to firm, and is reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 7 minutes per side, basting often with the sterilized marinade. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees f (54 degrees c).
