Servings: persons

2 cups apple juice
1/2 cup soy sauce, plus 2 teaspoons
1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced
5 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon Asian toasted sesame oil
1 1/2 pounds hangar, skirt, or flank steak
2 bunches scallions, thinly sliced (white and greens)
1/2 cup minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup neutral oil
3/4 teaspoon sherry vinegar
1 cup kimchi
2 large heads bibb lettuce, leaves separated and washed
3 cups cooked white rice

1
In a freezer bag, combine the apple juice, 1/2 cup soy sauce, onion, garlic, and sesame oil. Add the steak and turn to coat. Marinate for 40 minutes at room temperature (or up to a 24 hours refrigerated).
2
While the meat marinates, combine the scallions, ginger, oil, sherry vinegar, and salt to taste in a bowl. Stir well to combine.
3
In a small food processor, process the kimchi into a puree.
4
Prepare a grill or heat a grill pan on high. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill to medium rare, 5-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the cut. For the first few minutes, baste with the marinade to infuse more flavor and glaze the exterior.
5
Remove the steak to a platter and allow it to rest for a full five minutes. Slice against the grain on a 30 degree angle into 1/4-inch thick pieces.
6
Serve the steak with the kimchi puree, ginger-scallion sauce, rice, and lettuce leaves for wrapping.
