Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat your stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Remove steak from marinade, shaking off excess. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Grill the steak for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust based on your preference.
  • Remove steak from pan. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  • Arrange mixed salad greens on a large platter. Distribute cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and green onions over the greens.
  • Place the sliced steak on top of the salad. Sprinkle sesame seeds over everything.
  • Toss gently before serving. Enjoy the dance of flavors!

Suggestions

  • Alternative cuts: Flank steak, NY strip, or sirloin work well.
  • Garnishing options: Add avocado slices or radish for extra zing.
  • Cooking tips: Use a meat thermometer for precision—medium-rare reads 130°F.
  • Salad dressing: Whisk some rice vinegar, sesame oil, and a touch of honey for a delightful dressing.
