Preparation
- Using a blender or food processor, puree the kiwi fruit. In a wide, shallow glass or ceramic bowl, mix the puree with the steaks, coating them on all sides. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- In a toaster oven, toast the sesame seeds until lightly brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool, then crush between fingertips into a small mixing bowl. Add soy sauce, sugar, garlic, scallions and black pepper. Mix well. Reserve until needed.
- Wipe excess kiwi puree from steaks and place them in a clean glass or ceramic dish. Add the marinade, turning to coat all sides. Cover, and refrigerate overnight.
- Wipe excess marinade from steaks and discard. Grill meat to taste. Slice thinly against the grain, and serve with leaves of lettuce for wrapping around the slices.
