Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak or sirloin steak
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Start by slicing the steak into thin strips against the grain. This helps ensure tenderness. Set the strips aside.
In a medium bowl, create the marinade by combining soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, brown sugar, ground cumin (if using), and red chili flakes (if using). Mix well.
Add the steak strips to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let the steak marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator. If you're short on time, you can cook immediately, but marinating will enhance the flavor.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a tablespoon of olive oil or any neutral cooking oil.
Working in batches, add the steak strips to the pan in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes on each side until browned and slightly caramelized. Avoid overcrowding the pan to achieve the best sear.
Remove the cooked steak strips from the pan and set them aside on a plate. Repeat until all the steak is cooked.
Optional: Deglaze the pan by adding a tablespoon of water or beef broth to lift any browned bits, creating an additional layer of flavor. You can pour this over the cooked steak strips.
Garnish the steak strips with chopped green onions before serving.
Serve immediately with rice, roasted vegetables, or as a filling for sandwiches or wraps. Enjoy!
