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)

Directions

Step 1

Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

When ready to cook, remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Step 5

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and lightly grease with cooking oil.

Step 6

Remove the steak from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and pat the steak dry with paper towels. Discard the used marinade.

Step 7

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).

Step 8

Remove the steak from the heat and let it rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Sprinkle the steak with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Step 10

Slice the steak against the grain and serve alongside your favorite side dishes.
