Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6-8 oz each) Beef steak (sirloin or ribeye)
- 4 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
- 2 units Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the steak pieces in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them to coat evenly.
Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and carefully place the steaks onto the hot pan.
Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired level of doneness.
Once cooked, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
While the steak is resting, lightly toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Slice the steak against the grain, garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions, and serve immediately.
