Grilled Steak with Vegetables and Soy Sauce Recipe

 Grilled Steak with Vegetables and Soy Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

(Serves 2):

Steaks:

2 beef steaks (such as sirloin, rump, or filet mignon, about 150-200g each)

Vegetables: 1 medium carrot (cut into thin slices or strips)

1 small zucchini (cut into slices or strips)

1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or green, cut into strips)

1 small onion (cut into slices or strips)

100g broccoli (optional, cut into small florets)

Soy Sauce:

4 tablespoons soy sauce (shoyu)

1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar

1 teaspoon grated (or powdered) ginger

1 clove garlic, minced or crushed

1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening, optional)

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon Sesame oil (optional, for extra flavor)

Other:

Salt and black pepper to taste

Vegetable oil or olive oil for grilling

Sesame seeds or chopped chives for garnish (optional)

Preparation:

Preparing the steaks: Season the steaks with salt and black pepper to taste.

Heat a skillet or grill pan with a drizzle of oil or olive oil over medium-high heat.

Grill the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side (or as desired: rare, medium, or well-done). Set them aside on a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.

Preparing the vegetables:

In the same skillet, add a drizzle of oil (if needed) and sauté the vegetables over medium-high heat. Start with the carrots (which take the longest to cook), then add the paprika, zucchini, onion, and broccoli. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but still crunchy.

Making the soy sauce:

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, and water. If you prefer a thicker sauce, dissolve the cornstarch in the water before adding it to the mixture.

Pour the sauce into the pan with the vegetables and stir well. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the vegetables are mixed in.

Assembling the dish:

Place the grilled steaks on individual plates.

Serve the sautéed vegetables with the soy sauce alongside or on top.

Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions, if desired.
