Serving: Marinade for 4 steaks

Toasted sesame seeds give this spicy, ginger and soy sauce-based marinade a slightly nutty and aromatic flavor.

Toast the sesame seeds by placing them into a small sauté pan over medium heat and cooking until they begin to brown and pop.
Transfer the seeds to a blender and then add the soy sauces, garlic, ginger, sake, sugar and green onion. Process the mixture until smooth and then transfer to a large Ziploc bag with the steak. Seal the bag and then massage so steaks get coated with the marinade.
Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour prior to cooking.
