Steak w/ Soy-Ginger Sauce… and a Cookbook Giveaway!!
My dear friends, I’m asking you to forgive me for your bruised buttocks. I think i got a little carried-away with all that spanking in my last post. Today, in an effort to redeem myself… i am giving away a free cookbook!
You will have to wait until the end of this post to find out more because i’m a bit hungry right now… Let’s eat!
. In the book, he claims this dish has the potential to become a real classic and i think i agree with him and not just because he’s one of my kitchen heroes. I promise he didn’t bribe me either. I used Kobe beef because.. well, errr… I don’t have a budget to respect at work and also because it was meant to be served as a small tasting. It was pure indulgence. In fact, it’s was so rich that you should consider having your doctor check your pulse while you’re chewing. We’re never too cautious.Did you know JGVO has a cheap-ass blog just like this one? Check it out here but don’t forget to comeback to enter the giveaway!
Steak with Soy-Ginger Sauce
(serves 4)
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless ribeye or sirloin steaks
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons minced ginger
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- Preheat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. Add the steaks and cook until nicely browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and brown the other side, another minute or two. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the steaks to a plate.
- When the skillet has cooled slightly, return it to the stove over medium heat. Add the butter and, when it melts, the ginger. About 30 seconds later, add the soy sauce and 2 tablespoons water and stir to blend. Return the steaks to the skillet, along with accumulated juices.
- Turn the heat to medium and cook the steaks for a total of about 4 minutes, turning 3 or 4 times. (If at any time the pan threatens to dry out entirely, add another couple tablespoons of water.) At this point, the steaks will be medium-rare; cook for a little longer if you like, and serve, with the pan juices spooned over. Enjoy!
