Ingredients

Method

1.In a large bowl, stir together the sugar, soy sauce, oils, lemon juice, ginger and garlic. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Massage the marinade into the steak and leave at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
2.Cook the steak on a grill heated to medium. Baste with the leftover marinade as it cooks. Cook to medium-rare – it will feel like your thumb flesh when you lightly touch your thumb and index finger together. Rest the steak for 15 minutes while you cook the spring onions.
3.Brush the spring onions with oil, then grill until soft and even charred in places.
4.Cut the steak into thin slices across the grain, and serve with spring onions and sprinkles of sesame seeds. Add bread buns and a green salad to complete your easy meal!

Serves 2-4. Resealable bags are great for marinating meat in as the marinade makes good contact with the meat.
