How to Make Fifteen Minute Steak

  1. Preheat your broiler to high or prepare a charcoal grill for high heat (coals covered with gray ash).
  2. Pat a 1-inch thick steak (about 8oz) dry with paper towels. Rub both sides generously with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil.
  3. Place the steak on a broiler pan or grill grate. Sear for 7 1/2 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time as needed for your desired doneness.
  4. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes, loosely tented with foil. This allows the juices to redistribute.
  5. While the steak rests, prepare the sauce: finely chop 2 scallions (white and light green parts only), 1 tablespoon peeled and minced fresh ginger, and whisk together with 1 tablespoon oyster sauce in a small bowl.
  6. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a small skillet over high heat until smoking.
  7. Pour the hot oil over the scallion-ginger mixture. The mixture will sizzle and become fragrant.
  8. Slice the steak against the grain and drizzle generously with the scallion-ginger sauce. Serve immediately.
