Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon mustard powder
• 2 pounds flat iron steak
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 0.25 cup rice wine vinegar
• 0.25 cup sliced green onions

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, green onions, garlic, and mustard powder together in a bowl. Pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add steak, turn to coat in marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator, 3 to 4 hours.

Step 2

Remove steak from marinade and discard marinade.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak until outside is seared, about 1 minute per side. Continue to cook until desired doneness is reached, about 5 minutes more per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 140 degrees F (60 degrees C).

Step 4

Remove skillet from heat and allow steak to rest before cutting, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds over steak.
