Ingredients

  • 2 pounds flank steak
  • 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon peeled and grated fresh ginger root
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chile-garlic sauce (such as Sriracha(R))
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 20 (8 inch) bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 20 minutes
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 chopped green onions

Method

  • Thinly slice the flank steak across the grain and at an angle, creating slices 1 inch wide by 1/4 inch thick.
  • Whisk together the hoisin sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic, salt, ginger, sesame oil, chile-garlic sauce, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the sliced flank steak, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 12 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Remove the flank steak from the marinade, and discard the remaining marinade. Thread the meat onto the skewers.
  • Cook the skewers on the preheated grill until cooked to your desired degree of doneness, 2 to 3 minutes per side for well done. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions to serve.
