Steak Marinade

Method

Marinating the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper. Whisk until the brown sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 3

    Prepare the Grill or Skillet

    Preheat a grill over medium-high heat or heat a large skillet over medium-high heat on the stove.

  2. 4

    Cook the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade and let excess marinade drip off. Grill or sear the steak for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches the desired doneness.

  3. 5

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill or skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Garnish

    Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Arrange on a serving platter and sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

  2. 7

    Enjoy

    Serve the Mongolian steak warm, either on its own or with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables.
