3 lb flank steak (while we love this with flank steak, we have used it with other cuts of meat as well and it works great)
1/2 c soy
1/2 c white sugar
1/2 c water
1/4 c sesame oil
1/4 c sake or I use whatever wine I have left over in the fridge
2 T chopped garlic (or more if you like it more garlicky)
1 T sesame seeds
1 t black pepper
1 bunch of scallions, washed and rinsed well. (If you don't have scallions, feel free to throw in some white onion wedges in with the beef after marinating.)
Set aside scallions and meat. Mix everything else together in a large bowl (marinade ingredients.)
Layer in green onions as you place in the flank. Continue until all flank is marinated. Pour remaining marinade on top.
Marinate at least 8 hours or overnight if possible. I personally have found that a 24 hour soak yields the best flavor. If you are planning to freeze, you can allow it to soak and then portion off what you want into ziploc bags OR immediately put into bags and freeze. Try and put a bit of marinade into each bag when freezing.
You can grill it on the bbq (our family favorite) or broil it in the oven for about 12-15 minutes, depending on your preference for rare, medium or well.
*You can boil the marinade and serve with the steak for added yumminess.

We had this last night but I didn't have any sesame oil so I didn't marinade it over night since I had to go to the store. It was still tasty but much better when you give it 24 hours!!! I'd love your peanut butter noodle recipe!!
