Technique to learn

High-Heat Searing

Cooking meat rapidly over maximum heat to lock in natural juices while developing deep surface caramelization.

Instructions

Step 1: Whisk together the guava nectar, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes in a bowl until combined.
Step 2: Heat one tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over high heat until smoking hot.

Step 3: Add half of the beef slices in a single layer and sear without moving for 1 to 2 minutes until browned, then flip and sear 1 minute more before transferring to a plate.

Step 4: Repeat step 3 with the remaining oil and beef slice portion.

Step 5: Lower heat to medium, return all seared beef and accumulated juices to the skillet, and pour in the guava shoyu mixture.

Step 6: Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze coating the beef.

Step 7: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped scallions, and serve hot alongside steamed rice.

Cooking tips

Slice the flank steak while slightly frozen to achieve paper-thin, even slices easily.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet during searing so the meat browns quickly without steaming.
Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Hawaiian; regional versions vary.
Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
