Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) flank steak, cut into strips
  
  

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
  
  

• 1 tablespoon Sriracha (or any hot sauce you like)
  
  

• Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
  
  

• ¼ cup soy sauce (or coconut amino for paleo and gluten-free)
  
  

• 1+2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  
  

• 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  
  

• 3 garlic cloves, minced
  
  

• 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes (optional)
  
  

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  
  

• 3 teaspoons minced fresh thyme
  
  

• 1 tablespoon finely minced chives
  
  

• ½ cup beef stock (or water)
  
  

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  
  

• Salt, to taste
  
  

• Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
  
  

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, Sriracha, soy sauce, pepper, and black pepper. Marinate the steak strips in this mixture for at least 30 minutes.
   
   

2. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper, then sear for 1–2 minutes on each side, turning just once until browned. Transfer the steak to a covered plate and set aside.
   
   

3. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the shallots and garlic in the same skillet, stirring occasionally, until the shallot is softened and fragrant (about 2 minutes).
   
   

4. Add thyme, chives, chili flakes, lemon juice, mustard, and ½ cup beef stock to the pan. Scrape up any browned bits using a wooden spoon. Cook, swirling the pan occasionally, until the liquid reduces by half (about 5 minutes).
   
   

5. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, swirling to melt, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
   
   

6. Return the steak to the pan, reheat quickly, and garnish with chopped parsley and chives. Serve with sautéed spinach, roasted potatoes, or other vegetables.
