Step 1
Pat the sirloin completely dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat until it's smoking — about 2 minutes. The pan is ready when water droplets sizzle and evaporate instantly.
Step 3
Sear the steak 90 seconds per side without moving — you want a dark crust. Flip only once. Transfer to a plate to rest.
Step 4
Return the skillet to medium heat. Add garlic and ginger, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 30 seconds — don't let it burn.
Step 5
Pour in soy sauce and sesame oil, swirling to combine. The glaze should bubble and darken slightly, about 15 seconds.
Step 6
Slice the steak against the grain into bite-sized pieces. Toss with the glaze and scatter scallions on top. Serve immediately.
