• 2 tbsp soy sauce (low sodium preferred)

• 1 tbsp butter (unsalted)

• 1 tbsp sesame oil (toasted)

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

🔥 Instructions

1. Prep the steak:
   Cut steak into bite-sized cubes and season lightly with salt and pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.

2. Heat the pan or griddle:
   Use a cast iron skillet or flat top grill over high heat. Add sesame oil and let it get hot until slightly smoking.

3. Sear the steak:
   Add steak cubes in a single layer (don’t overcrowd). Sear on all sides until browned (about 1–2 minutes per side).

4. Add garlic and butter:
   Lower the heat slightly. Add minced garlic and butter. Toss to coat the steak. Cook for another minute for flavor.

5. Deglaze (optional):
   Add soy sauce, lemon juice, and mirin/sake. Stir for 30 seconds until sauce slightly thickens and glazes the steak.

6. Serve immediately:
   Plate the steak hot, optionally with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or green onions.
