Grilled Sesame Steak

Recipe View 1 mins Toast Sesame Seeds: In a small skillet, heat sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add sesame seeds and cook, stirring constantly, until golden brown and fragrant (approximately 1 minute). Immediately transfer the mixture to a large glass or ceramic baking dish to prevent further cooking.

Recipe View 2 mins Prepare Marinade: Stir in the sliced onions, soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, crushed garlic, and cracked black peppercorns into the sesame oil and seeds. Ensure all ingredients are well combined to create a homogenous marinade.

Recipe View 20 mins Grill Steak: Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Discard the used marinade. Place the steak on the preheated grill and cook for approximately 10 minutes per side, or until the meat starts to firm and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness.

Recipe View 10 mins Rest and Slice: Transfer the grilled steak to a clean plate, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak. Slice the steak thinly across the grain and serve immediately.
