For the marinade

Instructions
- 1
Place the steak in the freezer for 30–45 minutes, until firm but not frozen solid. Using a sharp knife, slice the beef against the grain into strips about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. For chewier jerky, slice with the grain; for more tender jerky, slice against it.

In a large zip-top bag or airtight container, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, if using, until the sugar dissolves.
