Ingredients

3 lbs flank steaks
1 1/2 cups fresh meyer lemon juice
1/2 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons sesame oil

Preparation

Pierce both sides of the flank steak all over with a fork; place meat in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag.

Grill or broil the steak until cooked to taste; about 3 to 4 minutes per side for rare.
Let the steak rest for 5 minutes.
