Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix lemongrass, garlic, fish sauce, honey, and olive oil in a bowl until combined.

  2. Step 2

    Coat beef steaks evenly with marinade, rubbing it into both sides.

  3. Step 3

    Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a grill or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Pat steaks dry and season with salt and pepper. Sear 3 minutes per side without moving—surface should look caramelized and charred.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer to a plate and rest 5 minutes. Meat will continue cooking as it rests.

  7. Step 7

    Slice against the grain and serve with steamed jasmine rice and fresh herbs.
