There’s no need to fire up your grill to prepare this entrée. These marinated skewers cook quickly under the high heat of the broiler instead, making them a wonderful year-round option. You will need to plan ahead as the flank steak needs to marinate for at least 2 hours, but no more than 5 hours. Marinades generally don’t penetrate into the interior of the meat, so if it sits too long, the meat breaks down too much and can make the outside can mushy and mealy while leaving the interior unaffected. Toasted sesame seeds add a pretty finish and tasty flavor.
