Asian Steak

Though the ages, beef, and steak in particular, have always been thought of as luxury foods, so most people could not eat it on a regular basis. because beef was considered a luxury food, for many countries, especially Asian countries, beef was not a popular meat or protein choice. All that is changing now, due to changing cultures and rising incomes. Today, the Asia Pacific countries are among the top beef eaters in the world. Today, beef is a staple in many Asian dishes.

Larry had taken steak down from the freezer, so steak was what we were having for dinner. I like to shake things up and am always on the lookout for delicious new ideas of how to prepare things. I came across a recipe for an Asian steak that caught my eye and decided to make that. I’m glad I did. It was very good indeed. I served it with green beans topped with hazelnut butter, potatoes with peppers, onions and mushrooms, and a smooth Malbec on the side. Delicious!

Asian Steak

You can make unbelievably fancy tasting Asian steak sauces using just a handful of simple ingredients that you probably already have in the pantry if you regularly make Asian food.

2 lbs steak

1 TBSP garlic

salt to taste

1/2 cup lime juice

1 TBSP sugar

3 TBSP soy sauce

1 large jalapeno, diced fine

1/3 cup cilantro, chopped

Mix everything together well and marinate the steak for at least 2 hours before cooking.

Grill to perfection. I love my steaks nice and rare, medium rare at the absolute most, but of course everyone is different. In fact, since this an Asian style steak, I should note that most Asian countries cook their steak well done.

Reserve the sauce and reduce it to make your sauce to top the steak once it is done.

Once the steak is cooked to your liking, slice it into thin strips and top with the reduced sauce and serve with your choice of side dishes. Enjoy.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
