Step 1
Pat beef dry. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

Working in two batches, sear beef 2 minutes per side without stirring. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add onion to the skillet and cook, stirring, until edges char and soften, about 3 minutes.

Stir in ginger and chili flakes, cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add soy sauce, tomato paste, and lime juice.
Step 6
Return beef to the skillet, toss to coat, and cook 1 minute until sauce clings. Serve hot.
