This recipe takes inspiration from Greek grilled chops but adds an Asian twist with soy sauce and garlic in the marinade. The result is a juicy, flavorful beef dish that comes together in just 20 minutes.

The marinade does double duty: half is used to flavor the meat, while the rest is reserved to drizzle over the cooked beef, ensuring every bite is packed with savory goodness. Serve with a simple salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Ingredients

Servings 4

1 ¾ lb boneless beef sirloin steak, sliced into 3 cm thick pieces
1 small onion, finely chopped
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 clove garlic, lightly crushed
¼ cup olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tsp dried oregano

Converted amounts are rounded.

Method

In a bowl, combine the onion, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil.
Reserve half of this marinade in a small jar or bowl. Add the beef slices and the crushed garlic to the remaining marinade, and toss to coat.
Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over high heat.
Remove the beef from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and season with salt and pepper.
Place the beef in the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or to your desired doneness.
Transfer the beef to a serving platter and drizzle with the reserved marinade.
Sprinkle with oregano and serve immediately.

💡 Tips

For best results, let the beef come to room temperature before cooking.
If you prefer, you can grill the beef on a barbecue instead of using a skillet.
The reserved marinade is not cooked, so make sure to use it only as a finishing sauce.
