In a blender combine soy sauce, sugar, white wine vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Pulse on low for 1-2 minutes to combine to make the marinade.
Pour marinade over skirt steak in a stainless bowl then wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Puree the yellow onion in a blender until liquid. Strain thru a fine mesh strainer into a stainless-steel bowl.
Whisk the onion juice, sour cream, lime juice, eighth of a teaspoon of sea salt, eighth of a teaspoon of ground black pepper to make the onion infused sour cream for garnish.
In a sauté pan over medium high heat add butter then red onion and cook for 1-2 minutes to lightly caramelize then reserve for garnish.
Remove skirt steak from marinade and rest for 5 minutes at room temperature.
Cook skirt steak on grill or griddle over high heat. Each side will take 1-2 minutes. Remove grill from grill or griddle and allow to rest for 2-3 minutes so juices redistribute for the best eating experience.
Carve skirt steak into thin strips against the grain then portion in two.
Heat fryer oil to 350°F and cook fries until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Lift basket out of fryer to drain excess oil. Dump fries on a towel to absorb any excess oil.
Portion fries on two plates or pasta bowls portion with shredded cheese and melt in the oven or under a salamander.
Top with steak, a dollop of sour cream mixture, followed by caramelized onions, cilantro, and black sesame seeds.
