  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha, optional
  • 1 ½ pounds hanger steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 head butter lettuce
  • ½ teaspoons sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, green onions, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, pear and Sriracha, if using. Reserve 1/4 cup and set aside.
  • In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine soy sauce mixture and steak; marinate for at least 1 hour to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the steak from the marinade.
