Ingredients

Scale

For the steak:

  • 1 1lb (450g) flank steak, cut into strips
  • 1+2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • Pinch of red chili pepper flakes, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon finely minced chives
  • ½ cup beef stock (or water)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and fresh cracked pepper, to taste
  • Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

For the marinade:

  • 1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce (or coconut amino for paleo and gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha (or any hot sauce you like)
  • Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the steak: In a bowl, combine oil, Sriracha, pepper, and soy sauce. Marinate steak strips in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Sear the steak: Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season steak with salt and pepper and sear quickly, turning just once, until browned, 1–2 minutes. Transfer steak strips to a covered plate and set aside.
  3. Make the butter sauce: Reduce heat to medium and cook shallot and garlic in the same skillet, stirring occasionally, until shallot softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add thyme, chives, chili pepper flakes, lemon juice, mustard, and 1/2 cup beef stock, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Cook until the liquid is reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter, adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Finish and serve: Return the steak to the pan, reheat quickly, and garnish with chopped parsley and chives before serving with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Make sure not to overcook the steak to keep it tender.
  • Feel free to customize the level of heat in the dish by adjusting the amount of chili pepper flakes or hot sauce used.
