Main Ingredients- 300g fresh beef sirloin
- 1/2 medium-sized pear
Flavorful Marinade- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- A pinch of toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the delicious marinade. Peel, core, and blend the pear in a mixer to extract its juice. In a bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of this pear juice with 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Whisk everything together until well combined. This blend will create a sweet, savory, and garlicky flavor that will elevate the sirloin’s taste. For an even richer flavor, let the marinade sit for about 15 minutes to allow the ingredients to meld.
Step 2
Now it’s time to prepare the sirloin. Trim off any excess fat or tough connective tissues from the sirloin using a sharp knife. This step ensures a more tender and enjoyable bite after cooking. Cut the prepared sirloin into bite-sized pieces, about 2-3 cm each. Cutting them too small might cause them to lose their juices, so aim for a moderate size.
Step 3
Place the cut sirloin pieces into the prepared marinade. Gently toss the meat to ensure each piece is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This marinating process will tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to penetrate deeply, resulting in a much more delicious steak. If you have more time, you can marinate it for up to an hour for an even deeper flavor infusion.
Step 4
Now, let’s cook this flavorful sirloin! Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Add the marinated sirloin pieces to the hot pan. Avoid using excessively high heat, as this can burn the outside while leaving the inside undercooked. Maintain medium heat and sear the sirloin on both sides until it’s beautifully browned. You’ll know it’s nearly done when the surface is golden brown and juices start to appear. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 5
Arrange the cooked sirloin steak attractively on a serving plate. As a final touch, sprinkle a pinch of toasted sesame seeds over the steak for an added nutty aroma. Your mouthwatering sweet and savory sirloin steak is now ready! It’s best enjoyed immediately while hot. Serve it alongside rice or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy a wonderful dining experience with your family!
