The Scoop

Big steakhouse energy in bite-size form!
Tender ribeye gets a quick hit of soy, hoisin, sweet soy, and black pepper before hitting a screaming-hot skillet, then gets coated in a glossy chili-garlic sauce.
Fast, savory, slightly sweet, and very good at disappearing straight from the pan.
Hack it:
Swap ribeye for sirloin, strip steak, flank steak, or tenderloin.
Add grated ginger, garlic, or a splash of rice vinegar to the marinade.
Turn up the heat with extra chili garlic sauce, chili crisp, or sliced Thai chiles.
Toss in sliced bell peppers, snap peas, broccoli, or mushrooms for a veggie-heavy version.
Finish with toasted sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, cilantro, or thinly sliced red onion.
Serve over jasmine rice, noodles, crispy rice, or lettuce cups to turn the bites into a full meal.
Leftovers:
Stuff into steamed bao with cucumber, herbs, and spicy mayo.
Turn into quick steak fried rice with egg and scallions.
Slice and pile onto a rice bowl with avocado, cucumber, and pickled vegetables.
Fold into quesadillas with mozzarella or Monterey Jack and a little chili crisp.
Toss with noodles and extra sauce for a fast steak noodle bowl.
