Steak Teriyaki

2011-11-24T14:00:00.000-05:00

In the pan

On the plate

Bittman to the rescue again.

4 4-6oz strips of steak, boneless
2 tablespoons of butter
1/2 cup of sweet white wine
2 tablespoons of water
2 tablespoons of honey
2 tablespoon of sugar
1/3 cup of soy sauce

Heat butter in a medium-high large skillet. When hot, add steaks and cook for two minutes on each side. Remove steaks from the pan and add the white wine in order to remove the grease and burnt meat off of the pan. After some of the wine has boiled off(the smell of alcohol is a little less pungent and you have a little color in the pan, you will want to add the remaining ingredients. Once this starts to bubble, put the steaks back in and turn them until the sauce is thick.
