A delicious grilled steak is all about the right marinade. Whisk up this soy sesame blend for a light but tasty dinner.
Jump to RecipeJustin loves a good steak dinner. I’m not a big fan of it plain, though. I like it to have a lot of bold flavors, so we needed to dress up this steak a bit.
Teriyaki flavor is one of my favorites on meat, so I decided to go with the basics of that. Making your own marinade is a great way to include the flavors you and your family prefer without all the added ingredients and preservatives we try to avoid.

Soy Sesame Steak Step by Step
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced, dried
- 1 tsp ginger powder
- 2 lb top-sirloin steak

Preparation
In a large bowl, whisk the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger powder.

Add the steaks, turning to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least two hours, turning occasionally.

Remove steak and discard marinade. Grill to desired doneness.

Soy Sesame Steak Leftovers
Keep any leftover steak in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat on the grill or in a skillet for the best flavor. Remember, when you reheat steak it will cook further. If you know you won’t eat it all, I suggest undercooking the extra so when you heat it again it’s to your desired doneness.
