Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Beef steaks (sirloin or ribeye, about 1-inch thick)
- 120 ml White vinegar
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, ground
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 240 ml Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine white vinegar, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the beef steaks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later use.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks to the pan and sear for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on your preferred doneness (4 minutes for medium-rare, 5 minutes for medium). Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside on a plate to rest.
Using the same skillet, pour in the reserved marinade and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the skillet and stir well, allowing the sauce to thicken. Cook for 3-4 minutes.
Return the cooked steaks to the skillet, spooning the thickened sauce over the top. Let the steaks warm through for another 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the steaks to serving plates and drizzle with additional sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or rice.
