Ingredients

  • 1 cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • ¼ cup sesame oil

  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 lemon, juiced

  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak

  • skewers

Directions

  1. Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, green onions, lemon juice, sesame seeds, ginger, and garlic together in a bowl until marinade is smooth.

  2. Thinly slice steak with the grain into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Thread steak slices onto skewers and place in a flat plastic or glass container. Pour marinade over skewers. Cover container with plastic wrap, and refrigerate, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Flip skewers and continue marinating in the refrigerator, 1 1/2 to 2 hours more.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove skewers from marinade, discarding marinade.

  4. Cook steak skewers on the preheated grill until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Cook's Notes:

If you are using thin wooden skewers, soak them for 20 to 30 minutes.

To get the maximum amount of juice, apply light pressure as you roll a room-temperature lemon on the counter before cutting it open.

Partially freezing the steak tends to make it much easier to slice.
