Ingredients

🥩 1 T-bone steak
🥄 A pinch of baking soda
💧 A splash of water
🧅 1 medium onion, sliced into rings
🥢 Hoisin sauce, to taste
🥣 Soy sauce, to taste
🍶 Worcestershire sauce, to taste
🥄 A drizzle of sesame seed oil
🧂 Garlic salt, to taste
🍳 Cooking oil, as needed

Instructions

1- Prepare the Steak:

• Lay the T-bone steak on a flat surface.
• Sprinkle a pinch of baking soda evenly on both sides of the steak. This will help tenderize the meat.
• Splash a little water over the steak to activate the baking soda.

2- Add Flavors:

• Place the onion rings on top of the steak.
• Drizzle hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and sesame seed oil over the steak and onions.
• Sprinkle with garlic salt to taste.

3- Cook the Steak:

• Heat a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat and add a bit of cooking oil.
• Once the pan is hot, sear the steak for 3-5 minutes on each side until it achieves a nice brown crust. Cooking time may vary based on desired doneness (medium rare, medium, etc.).
• Flip the steak and cook for another 3-5 minutes.

4- Rest the Steak:

• Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

5- Caramelize the Onions:

• In the same pan, add more cooking oil if necessary.
• Stir fry the onions with the remaining sauce in the pan until caramelized and softened.

6- Serve:

• Place the steak on a serving plate.
• Spoon the caramelized onions and sauce over the steak.
• Garnish with shallots if desired.
