By TPMay

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 6 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for grilling
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
• 3 cloves garlic, grated or minced
• 1 shallot, minced
• Kosher salt or sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 pounds hanger steak
• Handful of thinly diced scallions, for serving
• Roasted sesame seeds, for serving

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, shallots, and salt and pepper to taste until the sugar has dissolved. Add the steak, massage the marinade into the meat, and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Preheat gas or charcoal grill until medium-hot. Lightly brush the grates with vegetable oil.
Grill the steak, flipping halfway through, until cooked to your liking, about 9 minutes totally for medium-rare. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for about 5 minutes.
Thinly slice the steak against the grain, transfer to a platter, and top with the scallions and sesame seeds.
