Ingredients

  • 4 cloves roasted garlic
  • 4 tsp fresh ginger (minced)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tsp low sodium soy sauce or gluten-free tamari sauce
  • 1/2 tsp five spice powder
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces flank steak
  • 4 Tbsp beer or gluten-free beer
  • 1 tsp unsalted butter

Place the garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce and five spice powder in a blender or mini chopper and puree until smooth.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a large skillet in the oven.

When the oven is hot, sprinkle the steak with pepper and place the steak in the hot pan.

Remove the pan from the oven and place the steak on a cutting board to rest.

Add the beer to the pan and whisk to deglaze the pan.

Add the butter and whisk until smooth.
