Instructions
 

  • Prepare a marinade with:

  • For the meat, you can use minced beef or cut a sirloin into small chucks.
    Add the meat to the marinade and let it rest for 20 minutes so the flavours will mix.

  • In a pan over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of oil.
    Once the pan is hot, add the meat in a single layer and let it cook for about 2 minutes without moving it.

  • Flip the meat and let it cook for another 2 minutes.
    At this point, add the rest of the marinade on top of the meat so it caramelises with the heat.

  • Remove the steak and set aside in a bowl for later.
    Do not remove the juices of the meat from the pan, as we are going to do the sauce with it.

Notes

  • Do not add salt to the meat in the marinade, because the soy sauce is already salty, so if you also add salt to the mix it’s going to get really salty… Wait until the dish is done to adjust if needed.
  • If you like spicy food, try adding more sriracha.
