Ingredients
- 500 g sirloin steak (about 1 inch thick)
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ tbsp ginger, minced
- 2 stalks scallions, chopped
Instructions
- 1
Pat the sirloin completely dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- 2
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until it's smoking — about 2 minutes. The pan is ready when water droplets sizzle and evaporate instantly.
- 3
Sear the steak 90 seconds per side without moving — you want a dark crust. Flip only once. Transfer to a plate to rest.
- 4
Return the skillet to medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds — don't let it burn.
- 5
Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil, swirling to combine. The glaze should bubble and darken slightly, about 15 seconds.
- 6
Slice the steak against the grain into bite-sized pieces. Toss with the glaze and scatter scallions on top. Serve immediately.
