Sesame-Soy Sirloin
from Fix, Freeze, Feast by Kati Neville and Lindsay Tkacsik, adapted by Angela

Ingredients:
6 lbs sirloin steak
½ c soy sauce
¼ c lime juice
2 T sesame oil
2 T brown sugar
3 T minced ginger
3 T minced garlic
3 T sesame seeds
3 t crushed red pepper flakes
a few grinds of black pepper

Directions:
Combine soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, and brown sugar. Divide steaks evenly among freezer bags (3 is suggested, but I like to do 6 because we don't eat that much meat in one sitting). Divide sauce evenly over steaks. Divide ginger, garlic, sesame seeds, and pepper flakes evenly among bags. Give a few grinds of black pepper to each bag, then seal and freeze.

To cook: Completely thaw. Preheat grill to a medium heat. Cook for 7 to 9 min on each side, depending on how you like your steak. Baste if desired during the first half of cooking with the marinade.
