Method

  • Put a large skillet over medium-high heat and brush it with some soybean oil.
  • Season the steaks with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • When the pan is hot, add the steaks.

  • Flip the steaks and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Top the steaks with the butter and 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
  • Cook for another 2 to 4 minutes, depending on how you like your steaks done.
  • Remove the steaks to a cutting board, cover them with foil, and let them rest while you cook the vegetables.
  • Carefully wipe out the pan and brush it with some more oil.
  • Add the carrots, snow peas, and cabbage.
  • Season them with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and cook them until they are just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add more oil, if necessary.
  • Add the bean sprouts and 1 tablespoon soy sauce and cook just until the bean sprouts are warmed through.
  • Divide the vegetables between 2 serving plates.
  • Slice the steaks and arrange them on top of the vegetables.
  • Put the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce and mirin into the pan over low heat.
  • Add the shallots, tomato, and chili flakes and cook until the shallots have softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Spoon the sauce over the steaks and garnish with cilantro.
