Chef notes
Marinating the meat adds a ton of flavor and helps tenderize it. The great part of this recipe is the marinade does double duty as a flavor infuser and a glaze.
Technique tip: Soaking your toothpicks in water for 20 minutes prior to using them will prevent burning.
Ingredients
- 1 pound skirt or flank steak
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, optional

2.Lightly massage the marinade into the steak and cover. Refrigerate 1-4 hours.
3.Once marinated, cut the steak into 8 equal rectangles. You may need to pound the steak thinner if using a thicker cut.
4.Place a few slices of each of the vegetables on a slice of steak, making sure they are all about the same length.
5.Roll the steak up over the vegetables and secure it with a toothpick.
6.In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour in the leftover marinade and bring to a boil.
7.Boil for about one minute, take off the heat and set aside to use as a glaze.
8.In a grill pan or on the grill over medium-high heat, place your steak roll ups and cook for about 2-3 minutes.
9.Flip the roll over and use a heat-safe brush to brush the glaze on each roll.
10.Cook for about one minute longer and remove from heat. Top with sesame seeds.
11.Serve warm and enjoy!
