Pan-Seared Steak with Spicy Sauce
This is a creative fusion dish combining tender pan-seared steak with a spicy sauce, delivering a perfect balance of crispy exterior and juicy interior, spicy yet not overpowering.
Ingredients
- 2 steaks (about 150g each, thick-cut)
- 2 red chili peppers (julienned)
- 1 green bell pepper (sliced into strips)
- 1/2 onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
Season the steaks with salt and black pepper, then let them rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet, then sear the steaks for 3–4 minutes per side (adjust time according to desired doneness).
In a separate pan, sauté the garlic until fragrant, then add the onion slices and green pepper strips, cooking until partially softened.
Add the julienned red chili peppers and stir-fry, then season with chili powder and honey to create a spicy sauce.
Slice the cooked steak and drizzle with the spicy sauce before serving.
Chef Tips
Marinating the steak in advance enhances flavor, but avoid over-marinating to prevent the meat from becoming tough.
For a more intense spicy kick, substitute some of the chili powder with fresh red chili peppers.
Pairs well with rice or pasta, offering versatile serving options.
