Mom's Steak

My mom's marinated pan-fried steak, from a family dinner on September 19, 2026, with the steak sauce she makes with it (written down on October 3, 2026). Amounts for the sauce were never recorded — it's an ingredient list, the way she gave it to me.

The steak

• NY strip steak
• Marinade: ginger, garlic, green onion, soy sauce, sugar, and black pepper

Marinate the steak for 15 minutes, then pan-fry it.

That night it was served with mashed potatoes and stir-fried cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots.

The sauce

Built on the steak marinade, plus:

• Soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and green onion (the marinade base)
• Worcestershire sauce
• Rice wine
• Pepper
• Fried shallots
• Water
• Corn starch, to thicken
