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. 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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Remove steak from marinade, shake off excess, and discard remaining marinade.

Step 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.
