Soy and Sesame Steak Marinade

I didn’t measure this but am recording the “idea” so I can fine tune the measurements later.

  • a few chugs of soy sauce
  • a few splashes of sesame oil
  • some crushed garlic (a few teaspoons)
  • some sesame seeds (a few spoonfuls)
  • some lime juice (I emptied the bottle, maybe 1/4 cup)
  • some brown sugar (2 spoonfuls)
  • some ginger (would have used fresh if I had some but I used dried)
  • black pepper

I marinated the steaks overnight due to a change in plans at the last minute. Actually, I bought a max pack at the grocery since they were on sale, so I marinaded more than we needed for one night, then frozen the rest in the marinade for another night.

PS: This was good!  The next day I took the leftover steak and sliced it into thin strips and made a version Mongolian Beef with it. I just modified the recipe so that I quickly heated the strips of steak rather than needing to cook them. That was a great way to use leftovers in a totally different tasting dinner.
