My wife and I have been making this grilled sesame steak recipe for over 30 years. The sesame flavor is fantastic, and the London broil comes out tender as can be. Flip it twice per side to get the diamond-shaped grill marks, and people will rave!
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups sesame oil
- 0.33 cups sesame seeds
- 4 yellows onions , sliced
- 0.5 cups soy sauce
- 0.25 cups lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 cloves garlic , minced
- 0.25 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
- 1 London broil steak , 2.5 pound
Instructions
-
1
Heat sesame oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame seeds; cook and stir until golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer seeds and oil immediately to a large glass or ceramic baking dish.
-
2
Add onions, soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, garlic, and peppercorns to sesame mixture; stir until marinade is combined. Add steak to marinade and toss to evenly. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap; marinate in the refrigerator, flipping often, 4 hours to overnight.

3
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
-
4
Remove steak from marinade, shake off excess, and discard remaining marinade.
-
5
Cook on the preheated grill until steak starts to firm and turns reddish-pink and juicy in center, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and rest before slicing against the grain, about 10 minutes.

Baked Chicken and Sausage Gumbo
Gumbo doesn't have to be hard! Instead of slowly cooking and stirring a roux for what seems like forever, try this chicken and sausage gumbo that's baked instead. It's not a shortcut per se, but cooking it in the oven will save you from having to stand over the stove for hours. Serve hot with a spoonful of white rice.
