Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef (ribeye or sirloin)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, and lime juice. Whisk together until the sugar dissolves.
- Marinate the beef: Place the beef in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, pouring the marinade over it. Seal or cover tightly and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for optimal flavor.
- Heat the skillet: Preheat a skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
- Sear the beef: Remove the beef from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Place it in the heated pan and sear undisturbed for 3-4 minutes.
- Flip and cook: Flip the beef and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until desired doneness.
- Rest and slice: Remove the beef from heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.
Notes
For enhanced flavor, marinate beef overnight. Use an instant-read thermometer to check doneness.
