  1. In a resealable plastic bag, combine brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, ½ teaspoon salt, garlic powder, and ginger. Add steak, tossing to coat. Seal bag and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight. Remove steak, and discard marinade. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°.
  3. In a medium skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add steak; cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
