Steak Marinade

Method

Marinating the Steak

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Steak

    Place the steak in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preparing the Toppings

  1. 3

    Pickle the Onions

    In a small bowl, combine thinly sliced red onion with a pinch of salt and a splash of vinegar. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to soften and pickle.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Tomatoes and Cilantro

    Halve the cherry tomatoes and chop the fresh cilantro. Set aside for serving.

Cooking the Steak

  1. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to high heat (about 450°F to 500°F).

  2. 6

    Grill the Steak

    Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Season with salt. Place the steak on the hot grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached.

  3. 7

    Rest the Steak

    Once cooked, remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Serving

  1. 8

    Assemble the Dish

    Slice the rested steak against the grain. Serve on a platter, topped with pickled red onions, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled queso fresco, and chopped cilantro. Drizzle chimichurri sauce over the top.

  2. 9

    Enjoy!

    Serve with additional chimichurri on the side and enjoy your Asian marinated steak!
