Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Sirloin steak
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp Cooking oil (for searing)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, brown sugar, rice vinegar, black pepper, and sesame seeds to form the marinade.
Place the sirloin steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the steak is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later use as a sauce.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, place the steak in the pan.
Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness). Avoid moving the steak too much while searing to form a nice crust.
While the steak is cooking, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once the steak is cooked to your liking, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.
Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices and drizzle the reduced marinade over the top.
Garnish with chopped green onions and additional sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately.
