A delightful steak recipe infused with Asian-inspired flavors, perfect for a special dinner.
Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sake, ginger, and spring onions in a mixing bowl to create the marinade.
Mix until the sugar is fully dissolved for a consistent marinade.
Place the beef slices in a baking dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
For deeper flavor, marinate overnight.
Thread three garlic cloves onto each toothpick to create garlic skewers. Brush them with sesame oil and season with black pepper.
Ensure the garlic cloves are evenly coated with oil for even grilling.
Preheat the grill to high heat and oil the grill plate to prevent sticking.
Use a high smoke point oil for greasing the grill.
Place the marinated beef on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side for medium doneness. Sprinkle with black pepper while cooking.
Use tongs to flip the steak to avoid piercing it and losing juices.
Add the garlic skewers to the grill and cook for 2 minutes on each side until lightly charred.
Keep an eye on the garlic to prevent burning.
Let the grilled beef rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute for a juicier steak.
Serve the grilled beef with the garlic skewers on the side, garnished with toasted sesame seeds.
Arrange the dish attractively for a restaurant-style presentation.
