Ingredients

• 1 lb Sirloin steak
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Sesame oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tbsp Brown sugar
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 2 Green onions, chopped
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
• 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp Cooking oil (for searing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, brown sugar, rice vinegar, black pepper, and sesame seeds to form the marinade.

Step 2

Place the sirloin steak in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the steak is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Remove the steak from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later use as a sauce.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, place the steak in the pan.

Step 5

Sear the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare (or adjust cooking time to your desired doneness). Avoid moving the steak too much while searing to form a nice crust.

Step 6

While the steak is cooking, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Once the steak is cooked to your liking, transfer it to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 8

Slice the steak against the grain into thin slices and drizzle the reduced marinade over the top.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped green onions and additional sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately.
