Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Steak (sirloin, ribeye, or flank)
- 0.25 cups Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced thinly)
- 1 tablespoon Cooking oil (for grilling or pan-searing)
Instructions
Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
When ready to cook, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with cooking oil.
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and pat the steak dry with paper towels. Discard the used marinade.
Cook the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer if desired, depending on the thickness of the steak. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 130°F (for medium-rare).
Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Sprinkle the steak with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Slice the steak against the grain and serve alongside your favorite side dishes.
