Step 1
Mix lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, honey, and olive oil in a bowl until combined.
Step 2
Coat beef steaks evenly with marinade, rubbing it into both sides.
Step 3
Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours.
Step 4
Heat a grill or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, 2 minutes.
Step 5
Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Sear 3 minutes per side without moving—surface should look caramelized and charred.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate and rest 5 minutes. Meat will continue cooking as it rests.
Step 7
Slice against the grain and serve with steamed jasmine rice and fresh herbs.
