Ingredients

• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small green onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup sesame oil
• 1/4 cup honey
• 3 tbsp rice or white wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp lemon zest
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1-1/2 lb flank steak, trimmed of excess fat
• Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Red chili pepper, sliced into thin rounds for garnish
• Fresh cilantro, chopped for garnish

Directions

1 In a medium bowl whisk together the garlic through black pepper to make the marinade. Reserve 1⁄2 cup of the marinade to use as the dipping sauce and add the rest to a large resealable plastic bag and shake to combine.

2 Score the steak lightly on both sides with a sharp knife and slice into 1⁄2"-thick strips. Add the steak to the bag with the marinade and refrigerate for 8 hours, turning occasionally.

3 Remove the meat from the refrigerator and preheat the grill to medium-high. Thread the sirloin strips onto metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers. Pour the marinade from the bag into a bowl to use for basting.

4 Lightly oil the grill and cook the kebabs for 3 minutes per side, basting with the leftover marinade during cooking time.

5 Top the reserved dipping sauce with the sesame seeds, chili pepper and cilantro and serve the kebabs with brown rice and salad.

Prep and cook time: 8-1/2 hours.
Makes: 8 kebabs.
