There is something so satisfying about a juicy steak dinner that does not take all night to prepare. The honey and soy marinade creates a beautiful glaze that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen, but it actually comes together very quickly.

I love serving this on warm summer evenings when I want something flavorful but light. If you have some good crusty bread on hand, it is perfect for soaking up all the extra ponzu sauce left on the plate.

Ingredients

  • 2 sirloin steaks
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon ponzu sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Ciabatta bread for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, ponzu, and garlic in a small bowl to create your marinade.

  2. 2

    Place the steaks in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the salad.

  3. 3

    In a medium bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Season with a little salt and pepper, then set aside.

  4. 4

    Heat a heavy skillet over medium high heat. Add the steaks and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until they reach your preferred level of doneness.

  5. 5

    Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  6. 6

    Pour the remaining marinade into the hot skillet for a minute to thicken it into a glaze, then drizzle it over the sliced steak.

  7. 7

    Serve your steak alongside the tomato salad and a few slices of toasted ciabatta.

💡 Tips

Store any leftover steak in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. The tomato salad is best eaten fresh, but it holds up okay for a few hours if kept at room temperature. Use a meat thermometer to ensure your steak is cooked exactly how you like it.
