Yakitori Marinated Flank Steak

Another tasty marinade for the ever popular flank steak. You can also use skirt steak, sirloin, pork tenderloin, even chicken breasts...whatever makes you happy!


For The Marinade

1/2 cup Mirin
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
1 tsp minced garlic

1 1/2 lb flank steak
2 tsp toasted sesame seeds, optional

Combine marinade ingredients in medium sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

When marinade has cooled, pour into a gallon size ziploc bag. Add steak, seal bag and turn gently to coat steak. Place in fridge 8 hours and upto 24 hours.

When ready to grill, heat grill to medium high heat. Remove steak from bag and shake off excess marinade. Discard marinade. Grill steak 7 minutes and turn over. Continue grilling another 7-10 minutes, or until steak is cooked to desired doneness. Remove from grill and let rest 5-7 minutes. Cut steak against the grain into thin slices. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds* and serve.

*To toast sesame seeds, heat a small skillet over medium high heat. Add seeds and shake pan gently as seeds begin to toast. This will take 2 minutes max. Pour hot seeds onto a plate to cool.
