Method
Preparation
- Remove any large fat caps from the steak. Slice against the grain into 1–1.5 inch bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with freshly cracked pepper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, olive oil, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
- Add the steak pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes for quick flavor, or cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Cooking
- Place a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add a thin film of oil if the pan looks dry.
- Remove steak from the marinade with tongs, letting excess drip back into the bowl (reserve that marinade if you plan to reduce it). Add steak to the hot skillet in a single layer. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Let steak sear undisturbed for about 2–3 minutes so a crust forms. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes for medium-rare to medium (adjust time for thicker or thinner pieces).
- If you reserved marinade, bring it to a boil in a small saucepan for at least 1–2 minutes to kill bacteria, then reduce it slightly until syrupy. Add the reduced glaze to the pan and toss steak bites to coat for a glossy finish. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.
Notes
For extra heat, add 1 tsp sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade. Pair with ginger-forward sides and use tamari to make the dish gluten-free.
