Ingredients
Instructions
- Roast sesame seeds in a frying pan until brown.
- Remove from heat and crush the toasted sesame seeds.

- Add sliced meat to the marinade and let stand for 1 hour or more.
- Put the marinated meat on the grill and cook until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the meat overnight. If you don’t have sherry, you can substitute with apple cider vinegar or white wine. For a spicier kick, add some red pepper flakes to the marinade. Toasting the sesame seeds enhances their flavor, so don’t skip this step. Make sure to monitor the grilling time closely to prevent overcooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the barbecue meat with steamed rice or in a wrap with fresh vegetables for a delicious meal. It pairs wonderfully with grilled corn on the cob or a fresh salad. For a complete dinner, consider serving it alongside a hearty dish like Beef Gravy And Biscuits. Don’t forget to garnish with extra chopped green onions for a fresh touch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover barbecue meat in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place it in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep it moist. You can also reheat it in the microwave, covered, in short intervals to prevent drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other cuts like flank steak or sirloin. Just ensure they are sliced thinly for the best absorption of flavors. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the cut, so keep an eye on it while grilling.
Is there a vegetarian alternative to this recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute the beef with firm tofu or seitan, which will soak up the marinade beautifully. Just follow the same marinating and grilling instructions, adjusting the cooking time as necessary for the vegetarian option.
What can I do if I don't have sesame seeds?
If sesame seeds are unavailable, you can omit them or use sunflower seeds for a different texture. Additionally, a drizzle of sesame oil can provide a similar flavor profile without the seeds.
