Ingredients

Directions

  1. Trim 6 rib-eye or sirloin steaks to about 1/2 pound each, removing excess fat and silver skin.
  2. Season steaks lightly with salt on both sides.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking.
  4. Sear steaks in batches, cooking about 1 minute per side to develop a crust.
  5. Use tongs to sear the edges of the steaks for an additional 30 seconds.
  6. Reduce heat slightly and continue cooking steaks, turning once, until rare (approximately 4 1/2 to 5 minutes total).
  7. Remove steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate.
  8. In a separate skillet, melt 5 tablespoons of unsalted butter with 2 tablespoons of water over high heat.
  9. Add 36 scallion whites to the butter mixture and shake the pan constantly until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
  10. Warm the prepared Chili Corn Sauce and adjust seasoning to taste.
  11. Place one steak in the center of each heated serving plate.
  12. Spoon the warm chili-corn sauce around each steak.
  13. Arrange 3 cooked scallions on each side of the steak, resembling spokes of a wheel.
  14. Serve immediately while hot.

Note

Ensure your skillet is very hot before adding the steaks to get a proper sear without steaming the meat.

Let the steaks rest for at least 5 minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.

If making ahead, store the chili-corn sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently before serving.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter when sautéing the scallions.
