Instructions: Place sesame seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat; cook, shaking pan frequently, until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Immediately remove from pan to cool.

Combine marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add beef to marinade; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or over night.

Heat a Japanese iron griddle (teppan) or electric frying pan to medium-high. Lift meat from marinade and drain briefly; reserve marinade in a small pan. Place meat on griddle and cook, turning once, until done to your liking, about 2 minutes per side for rare.

While meat is cooking, simmer marinade for 3 minutes. Add cornstarch solution and cook, stirring, until sauce bubbles and thickens slightly.

To serve, pour sauce onto a serving plate. Cut meat into crosswise slices. Then reassemble in its original shape on sauce.
