Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 4 yellow onions, sliced
• 1 (2.5 pound) London broil steak
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 0.5 cup sesame oil
• 0.33333334326744 cup sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Heat sesame oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sesame seeds in hot oil until golden brown, about 1 minute. Transfer seeds and oil immediately to a large glass or ceramic baking dish.

Step 3

Stir onions, soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, garlic, and peppercorns into sesame mixture until marinade is evenly combined. Place steak into marinade, turning to coat all sides. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate, turning steak often, for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.

Step 4

Remove steak from marinade and cook on the preheated grill until meat starts to firm and turns reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare. Transfer steak to a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing across the grain. Discard marinade.
