Time 8h30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 Thai chiles, chopped
2 teaspoons grated ginger
One 1-pound skirt steak, cut in half
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, for oiling the grill pan
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups diced tomatoes (about 3 medium tomatoes)
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons white sesame seeds, toasted
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

For the steak: In a large, resealable plastic bag, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, chiles and ginger. Add the steak to the marinade, seal the bag, and move the steak around to coat it with marinade. Marinate the steak in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or ideally overnight.
For the bruschetta: In a medium bowl, toss the tomatoes with the sesame oil, olive oil, vinegar, basil, sesame seeds and salt. Set aside.
Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes prior to cooking; preheat a grill pan over high heat.
Oil the grill pan with the vegetable oil. Season the steak on both sides with the 1/2 teaspoon salt. Grill over high heat until nicely marked and cooked to the desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium. Allow the steak to rest for 10 minutes before slicing on an angle, against the grain.
Serve topped with the marinated tomatoes.
