Asian Steak

I always tell Larry to pull out whatever he wants to eat from the freezer for the week. I will cook whatever he brings out. He pulled out another steak. OK. No problem. We both love steak. This time I cooked it Asian style, for something a little different.

Asian Steak

Thanks to the famous spice trail, there are many similarities between many different types and styles of food. I was able to use my leftover paprika vinaigrette Steak with Paprika Vinaigrette as part of my marinade for my Asian steak. I just added to it. I love it when I can recreate from my leftovers. 🙂

1 TBSP salt

1 TBSP chili powder

2 tsp paprika

1 1 /2 tsp cumin

1 TBSP garlic

1 TBSP onion

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/4 cup orange juice

2 TBSP fresh ginger

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1 cup soy sauce

2 TBSP brown sugar

1 1/2-2 lbs ribeye steak

Mix all the ingredients together well and marinade the steak for about 4-5 hours before searing to perfection.

When ready to cook, you can either place the steak on a hot grill or you can sear it on top of the stove to make a nice crust all around. I seared mine. It was crusted over on the outside and a perfect medium rare on the inside. When I sear my meats, I get the skillet VERY hot, then add both olive oil and butter. Depending on the thickness of the meat, cook for about 3-4 minutes per side.

After the meat is cooked, let it rest under a “tent” for a few minutes before cutting or slicing. I sliced this steak into thin strips and topped it with some of the marinade and sliced green onions.

Keeping an Asian theme, I served the steak with some Chinese style broccoli and some curried roasted potatoes, spring rolls and a smooth red blend on the side to complete the meal. Delicious!

You may eat the same meats a lot, but there is no reason they have to be prepared the same way time and time again. I have always said the sauce makes the meal. So sauce it up and change the sauces. Like I always say, play with your food. Have fun with it. 🙂

Have a great day and make everyday great. Life is what you make it, so make it fantastic. May 2026 be filled with happiness, good health and prosperity for all. ‘Til next time.
