Ingredients

• 2 boneless beef steaks (about 1 inch thick, 1 pound total)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons chili paste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lime wedges for serving (optional)

How to Make Grilled Beef Steak with Spicy Sauce

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chili paste, minced garlic, honey, and vegetable oil. This will be your marinade and sauce.
2. Place the beef steaks in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let it marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature. Reserve the other half for later.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the marinated steaks with salt and pepper.
4. Grill the steaks for about 5-7 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness is reached. Use a meat thermometer to check for an internal temperature of 135°F for medium-rare.
5. While the steaks are grilling, prepare the cucumber and cilantro. Arrange the sliced cucumber on a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
6. Once the steaks are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Slice the steaks against the grain and arrange them on top of the cucumber and cilantro. Drizzle the reserved spicy soy sauce over the steak.
8. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Let the steak come to room temperature before grilling for even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
• Allow the steak to rest after grilling to retain its juices.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of chili paste to suit your spice preference.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the beef steak with chicken breast or pork chops for a different protein option.
• Add grilled vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the dish for extra flavor and nutrition.
• Use sesame oil instead of vegetable oil for a nuttier flavor in the marinade.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed jasmine rice or quinoa for a hearty side.
• A fresh garden salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Grilled corn on the cob for a sweet and smoky touch.
• Roasted sweet potatoes for a delightful contrast.
