Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank)
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, freshly grated
- 0.5 tsp red chili flakes
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for cooking)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, red chili flakes, and black pepper. Mix well until the honey dissolves.
Place the steak into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring even coverage. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Reserve the remaining marinade for later use as a sauce.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil and let it heat until shimmering.
Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or cook to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer for precision if desired (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
While the steak is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Set aside.
Once the steak is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
Slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Drizzle the thickened marinade over the slices and garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
