Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 4 serrano peppers
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon fish sauce
  • juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1 1/2 pound flat iron steak, about 1 inch thick
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Remove the seeds from two of the serrano peppers. Add peppers, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice and rice vinegar to a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • In another bowl combine garlic powder, dried cilantro and kosher salt. Rub mixture over steak. Allow to rest for about 20 minutes.
  • Heat sesame and olive oils in a large heavy bottom skillet over medium heat. Cook steaks 3-4 minutes per-side for medium rare. Transfer to plate. Cover and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Slice and transfer to a serving platter. Spoon chili-lime sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

Notes

Serve with plenty of jasmine rice to soak up the spicy sauce and steak juices. Enjoy!
