Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Steak - Thaw the frozen New York strip steaks in the refrigerator for a few hours or until fully defrosted. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  5. Step 5: Grill the Steak - Remove the steak from the marinade, let excess drip off, and grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  6. Step 6: Rest and Slice - Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice against the grain into thin strips.
  7. Step 7: Serve and Garnish - Transfer sliced steak to a platter, drizzle with remaining marinade, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve with sides.
