Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the steak by whisking together oil, Sriracha, cracked pepper, and soy sauce. Coat the steak strips and let marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Sear the steak for 1-2 minutes on each side.
  3. Lower the heat and add another tablespoon of butter, shallots, and garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add thyme, chives, chili flakes, lemon juice, mustard, and beef stock to the pan. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the remaining butter, swirl to melt, and adjust seasoning. This enriches the sauce.
  6. Return the steak to the skillet for 1 minute in the warm sauce, then garnish with parsley and chives.
