SESAME-SOY FLANK STEAK image

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon Asian sesame oil
5 tablespoons sugar
4 1/2 tablespoons medium–dry Sherry, divided
3 large garlic cloves, minced
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground pepper, divided
1 (1 1/2- to 2-pound) flank steak
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar or unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
12 scallions
2 teaspoons vegetable oil plus additional for brushing grill

Steps:

  • Marinate Steak: • Stir together soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, 2 1/2 tablespoons Sherry, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a liquid measuring cup until sugar is dissolved; reserve 1/2 cup marinade for sauce. • Put steak in a large resealable plastic bag and add remaining marinade. Seal bag, forcing out excess air, and marinate steak at room temperature at least 1 hour, turning occasionally. Make Sauce: • Stir vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons Sherry into reserved marinade to make sauce. Toast sesame seeds in a small heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes, and reserve for serving. Grill Steak: • While steak is marinating, prepare grill for direct–heat cooking over medium–hot charcoal (medium–high for gas); see Grilling Procedure, below. • Drain marinade from steak. Oil grill rack, then grill steak (cover only if using gas grill), turning once, 6 to 7 minutes on each side for medium–rare. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 10 minutes. • While steak is standing, toss scallions with 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. If using a gas grill, lower heat to medium (charcoal will be cooled to medium after grilling steak). Grill scallions (cover only if using gas grill), turning occasionally, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. • Thinly slice steak across the grain and serve with sauce, scallions, and sesame seeds. Gas Grilling Instructions: • Preheat all burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then adjust heat according to recipe.
