  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds, crushed
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Thinly sliced green onions, optional

Directions

  1. Freeze steaks until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut steaks crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Sprinkle with sugar; place in a large resealable plastic bag. Add soy sauce, oil. sesame seeds, garlic, pepper sauce and pepper flakes; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
