Instructions

  1. 1In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, sugar, pepper flakes, garlic, and sesame oil. In a 9x13 baking dish, arrange the steak in a single layer and evenly top with the sliced onions. Pour the sauce over top and marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
  2. 2Heat a large cast iron skillet on high heat. Once smoking brush with oil. Remove the steak and onions from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
