How to Make Sesame Flank Steaks With Grilled Green Onions

  1. In a shallow, nonreactive dish, place the flank steak in a single layer.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, and 6 tablespoons of sesame oil.
  3. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the steak several times.
  5. Prepare your grill for medium-high heat (approximately 5 inches from the heat source). Lightly oil the grill rack.
  6. Trim the root ends of the green onions and cut the green stems to approximately 4 inches in length.
  7. Place the green onions in a shallow dish and brush them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil.
  8. Set aside the onions.
  9. Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels.
  10. Place the steaks on the preheated grill and cook for 5-6 minutes per side for medium-rare (adjust cooking time based on desired doneness).
  11. Once cooked, remove the steaks from the grill and loosely cover them with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  12. Grill the green onions, turning occasionally, until they are slightly charred (approximately 3-5 minutes).
  13. Slice the steak diagonally across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.
  14. Arrange the sliced steak and grilled green onions on a serving platter.
  15. Season with salt to taste.
  16. In a small skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown (3-5 minutes).
  17. Remove the toasted sesame seeds from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
  18. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the steak and green onions.
  19. Serve immediately and enjoy!
