Sesame Flank Steak Recipes

SESAME STEAK STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Whisk the brown sugar, soy sauce, cornstarch, 2 tablespoons water and 2 teaspoons sesame oil in a bowl. Add the steak and toss.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat; add 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Add the scallions, cucumber and cabbage; stir-fry until the vegetables start softening, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots and 1/4 cup water; cook, stirring, until the water evaporates and the vegetables are tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; wipe out the skillet.
• Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ginger and jalapenos; stir-fry 30 seconds. Transfer the steak to the skillet using a slotted spoon; stir-fry until browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add the steak marinade back to the skillet and cook, stirring, until thick, about 2 minutes. Return the vegetables to the skillet and heat through. Serve over rice.

GRILLED SESAME FLANK STEAK

Steps:

• 1. Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, whisking to emulsify.
• 2. Place the marinade in two separate gallon-sized Ziploc bags. Add one flank steak to each bag. Zip bags closed and shake to evenly coat the meat. Then place in a metal pan and into the fridge. Marinate the steak overnight turning several times to evenly coat the meat.
• 3. Preheated the grill to medium-high heat (375 F).
• 4. First sear the flank steak on each side, approximately 1-2 minutes per side.
• 5. Continue cooking 6 minutes per side, turning once.
• 6. When the internal temperature reaches desired doneness, remove from grill and rest of at least 8-10 minutes under a piece of aluminum foil tented over the top. Resting allows the juices to pull back into the meat before carving.
