Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce steaks Sirloin steak
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup White vinegar
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, white vinegar, minced garlic, bay leaves, ground black pepper, and brown sugar to create the adobo marinade.
Place the sirloin steaks in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steaks, making sure they are fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
Remove the steaks from the marinade, reserving the marinade for cooking. Pat the steaks dry with paper towels to help them sear properly.
In a large skillet or grill pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the steaks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until a nice crust forms and they reach the desired doneness. Remove the steaks from the pan and set aside to rest on a plate, loosely covered with foil.
In the same skillet, pour the reserved marinade and add the water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly and ensure the marinade is safe to eat.
Serve the steaks with the adobo sauce drizzled on top, and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Pair with steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
