Description
This marinated steak recipe combines the flavors of soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic, creating a delicious dish perfect for serving over rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ lbs Boneless Ribeye or Top Sirloin
- ¼ Cup Soy Sauce (light)
- 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 1 ½ Tablespoons Sesame Oil
- 3 Cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 Tablespoon Ginger Root (fresh, grated)
- 1 Tablespoon Mirin
- ¼ teaspoons Korean Red Pepper Flakes (or ½–¾ Tablespoon gochujang)
- 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 2 teaspoons Sesame Seeds (toasted)
- 2 Green Onions (chopped)
- 1 Asian Pear (optional, peeled, cored, and roughly chopped or a bosc pear will work)
Instructions
- Wrap steak in plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Unwrap on a cutting board and slice across the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, mirin and pepper flakes.
- Pour into a blender and then add the pear and blend until smooth.
- Add the steak to a gallon size Ziploc bag, with the soy sauce mixture; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. I like to vacuum seal for a faster marinade, and then cook it with the sauce.
- Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat. Do not add all meat at once! Working in batches, add steak to the grill pan in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until charred and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side then remove to a plate.
- Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and steak. Toss all meat back in and add the sauce, cooking until thickened and serve over rice with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
- This recipe is great for quick weeknight dinners.
- For best flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
