While watching one of my favorite shows, Terrace House on Netflix, I saw a scene where they were out at a steak restaurant and briefly, they showed a shot of this juicy, medium-rare steak swimming in some type of soy garlic sauce. I called it a Japanese Style Garlic Soy Steak!
I rewinded and paused it right at the moment when the steak took up our entire forty-inch TV and I said to my husband, “Honey, we are making this!!” And that’s where this dish came from!
I experimented with different ingredients and came up with what I think in my mind that steak might have tasted like- savory, garlicky and a little sweet.
It’s really easy to make and a different style of steak than you would typically find here in the States. Unlike most sauces you find here in the States, Japanese steak sauces are liquid and designed to be enjoyed with all the steak juices on your plate!
So when you’re enjoying this dish, make sure to lather that piece of steak with all the goodness sauce that’s accumulated on the bottom of your plate!
For this recipe, you will need a cast iron pan. No way to get around this as the entire pan will need to go in the oven. Also will need Swerve/Monkfruit which you can get from Amazon.
Now, let’s get started!
