Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (120ml) soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) toasted sesame oil
  • 3 cloves (15g) garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15g) fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) black pepper
  • 1 tsp (5g) kosher salt
  • 1.5 lbs (680g) skirt steak
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) neutral oil
  • 2 stalks (30g) green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp (5g) toasted sesame seeds

Instructions:

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Whisk until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is homogenous.
  2. Place the skirt steak in a Ziploc bag and pour the Honey Soy Steak Marinade over it. Massage the bag to ensure the meat is fully coated.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but do not exceed 8 hours.
  4. Remove the steak from the fridge 20 minutes before cooking. Pat the surface dry with paper towels to ensure a proper sear.
  5. Heat 2 tbsp of neutral oil in a cast iron skillet or on a grill over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer and just barely smoke.
  6. Lay the steak in the pan and sear for 3–5 minutes per side until a deep mahogany color is achieved and the interior reaches your target temperature.
  7. Slice the steak perpendicularly against the grain into thin strips and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
