Why This Recipe Is A Must Try

This dish combines tender, flavorful beef with a vibrant Asian-inspired marinade. The balance of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors makes it a crowd-pleaser. It’s quick to prepare and perfect for a weeknight dinner or special occasion.

Cooking Hints

- Let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes to soak up the flavors fully.
- Cook the steak over high heat to get a nice sear without overcooking the inside.
- Allow the meat to rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.

Step 1

In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, green onions, garlic, and mustard powder until everything is well combined. Pour this marinade into a resealable plastic bag, add the steak, and make sure it’s fully coated. Squeeze out as much air as you can, seal the bag, and pop it in the fridge to marinate for about 3 to 4 hours.

Step 2

When you’re ready to cook, take the steak out of the marinade and throw the leftover liquid away. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it’s nice and hot. Place the steak in the pan and cook it just until the outside is nicely browned and seared, about a minute on each side.

Step 3

After that, lower the heat a bit and keep cooking the steak until it reaches your preferred doneness—usually around 5 more minutes per side for medium. If you have a meat thermometer, aim for about 140°F (60°C) in the center. Once it’s done, take the pan off the heat and let the steak rest for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing. Finish by sprinkling some sesame seeds on top for a little extra flavor and crunch.

Serving Options To Try

Serve sliced thinly against the grain with steamed rice or noodles. Add a side of sautéed vegetables or a crisp Asian-style salad to complete the meal. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions for extra brightness.

Leftover Care Tips

Store any leftover steak in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave to avoid drying it out. The marinade can also be used as a dipping sauce if heated properly.

Followed it closely and it worked well. The only tweak I’d make is to marinate a little longer for deeper taste.
