Directions
-
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, chopped green onions, and garlic powder to create the marinade.
-
Place the sirloin steak in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it, turning the steak to coat evenly.
-
Cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours, turning the steak occasionally to ensure even marination.
-
Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Pour off and discard the used marinade.
-
Preheat the broiler. Place the steak on the rack of a broiler pan, positioning it 3 to 4 inches from the heat source.
-
Broil the steak for 16 to 20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until it reaches medium-rare doneness.
-
Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Keep the steak warm.
-
Arrange an equal amount of the blanched asparagus, carrots, and peas in a spoke fashion on four dinner plates.
-
Slice the rested steak into 1/4-inch thick slices.
-
Arrange four slices of beef over the vegetables on each plate. Top with a tomato rose if desired, and serve immediately.

Note
Store leftover steak and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or skillet to avoid overcooking the meat.
Ensure vegetables are blanched just until crisp-tender to maintain their vibrant color and texture. Do not overcook them before plating.
You can substitute the sirloin with top round or flank steak. Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the thickness of the cut.
For a richer flavor, let the steak come to room temperature before broiling. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 135&# 194;°F for medium-rare.
