Hoisin Marinated Beef
Ingredients
  • 1 (1 pound) beef skirt steak
  • 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Chinese vinegar (or sherry vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 green onion, light parts only, minced
  • Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
1
Combine the ingredients of hoisin sauce, vinegar, soy sauce, hot sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper in a large mixing container. Blend them well until they form a smooth mixture.
2
Cut the skirt steak into 4 or 5 smaller strips, cutting across the grain. Place these small pieces of steak in a bowl with the marinade and mix until they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate; allow it to marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
3
Line a baking pan with paper towels and transfer the small pieces of steak to the paper towels. Wipe off some of the excess marinade from the steak pieces.
4
Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly brush it with oil. Transfer the small pieces of steak to the hot grill. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature; it should be between 130 and 135 degrees F (about 54 degrees C). Thinner pieces may cook more quickly. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
5
Transfer the cooked steak to a warm serving platter. Pour any juices that have accumulated around the steak over it. Sprinkle some sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top of the skirt steak.
