Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 0.25 cup Sake
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
- 2 Green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 London Broil steak (approximately 1.5 lbs)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Mix well to dissolve the brown sugar.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced green onions to incorporate thoroughly into the marinade.
Place the London Broil steak in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is fully coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate and marinate the steak for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to maximize flavor.
When ready to cook, preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for optional basting by boiling it in a small saucepan for 5 minutes to ensure it is safe to use.
Grill or broil the steak for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (e.g., 130°F for medium-rare).
Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before slicing it thinly against the grain.
Serve the sliced steak with a drizzle of the cooked marinade, if desired, and enjoy!
