Prix – Fixe Menu 688 (Serves 10)

1. 1

   Prepare the beef

   Trim and cut the sirloin into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels to remove surface moisture.

2. 2

   Season the beef

   Season the beef cubes with 2 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

3. 3

   Sear the steak

   Heat a large heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over high heat and add 2 tbs olive oil. Working in batches, sear the steak cubes until browned on all sides, about 1-2 minutes per batch. Transfer seared cubes to a plate.

4. 4

   Sauté garlic and begin glaze

   In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tbs unsalted butter and minced garlic; sauté 30-60 seconds until fragrant.

5. 5

   Make the honey pepper glaze

   Stir in 5 tbs honey, 1 tbs soy sauce, 1 tsp balsamic vinegar, and 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes. Simmer 1-2 minutes until the glaze is glossy and slightly thickened.

6. 6

   Coat the steak with glaze

   Return the beef cubes to the skillet and toss to coat with the glaze. Cook 2-3 minutes, just until the steak reaches the desired level of doneness.

7. 7

   Finish and glaze

   Turn off the heat and whisk in the remaining 2 tbs butter until the sauce is glossy. Taste and adjust salt if needed.

8. 8

   Garnish and rest

   Remove from heat, garnish with 0.25 cup chopped parsley. Let the dish rest 2-3 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
