Asian Flair Flat Iron Steak
Description
After rummaging online recipes, and experimenting with my own, I came up with this sweet and tangy sesame marinade that my husband and I find quite tasty! You can also try cooking it in your indoor (we have a Foreman) grill.
Ingredients
•
2 tablespoons sesame oil
•
1 tablespoon minced garlic
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
•
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
•
1 teaspoon green hot pepper sauce
•
2 teaspoons soy sauce
•
1 teaspoon teriyaki sauce
•
2 teaspoons brown sugar
•
12 ounces flat iron steaks
•
3 tablespoons sesame oil
•
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
•
2 green onions, chopped
Directions
1
Whisk together 2 tablespoons of sesame oil with the garlic, salt, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, hot pepper sauce, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and brown sugar in a bowl, then pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the flat iron steak, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
2
Remove the flat iron steak from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of sesame oil in a cast iron skillet over medium high heat until it begins to smoke. Sear the steak in the hot oil until cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 3 minutes per side for medium. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly. While the steak is resting, cook the bell pepper in the hot skillet until it begins to soften, about 1 minute. Stir in the green onions, and cook for 30 seconds more. Serve the pepper mixture over the sliced steak.
