Grilled Sesame Steak
Description
A deceptively simple sesame marinade featuring onions, garlic, lemon juice, and soy sauce is perfect for this tender, grilled London broil steak recipe.
Ingredients
•
1/2 cup sesame oil
•
1/3 cup sesame seeds
•
4 yellow onions, sliced
•
1/2 cup soy sauce
•
1/4 cup lemon juice
•
1 tablespoon sugar
•
2 cloves garlic, crushed
•
1/4 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
•
1 (2 1/2 pound) London broil steak
Directions
1
Heat sesame oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame seeds; cook and stir until golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer seeds and oil immediately to a large glass or ceramic baking dish.
2
Add onions, soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, garlic, and peppercorns to sesame mixture; stir until marinade is combined. Add steak to marinade and toss to evenly. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator, flipping often, 4 hours to overnight.
3
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
4
Remove steak from marinade, shake off excess, and discard remaining marinade.
5
Cook on the preheated grill until steak starts to firm and turns reddish-pink and juicy in center, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and rest before slicing against the grain, about 10 minutes.
