Steaks Prep

4. Remove the Ziploc from the refrigerator and allow steak to come to room temperature

Cooking the Steaks

1. Heat cast iron skillet over high heat for 10 minutes
2. Place steaks in the skillet for 3-5 minutes per side until steak is at desired internal temperature (recommend medium rare to medium). Make sure to flip steaks with tongs and do not press down on steaks with a spatula which will cause an uneven cook.
3. Remove the steaks from the skillet and place on a cutting board or plate and cover loosely with foil before slicing thinly against the grain.

Soy & Ginger Sauce Prep

1. Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the ginger and stir frequently until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Avoid browning.
3. Add soy sauce, tomato paste, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a boil.
4. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until sauce thickens.
5. Add sesame oil and margarine and stir until melted. 
6. Remove from heat and set aside.
