Honey Soy Steak with Cherry Tomato Salad
A refreshing summer meal that balances savory marinated steak with a bright and juicy tomato salad.
recipesbynani.comThis dish is a favorite in my kitchen because it feels fancy without requiring much effort. The sweet and salty notes from the honey soy marinade make the steak incredibly tender and full of flavor.
It is perfect for those warm evenings when you want something light but satisfying. Serve it with a side of crusty ciabatta bread to soak up all the delicious juices left on the plate.
🧺 Ingredients
- 2 sirloin steaks
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
- 1 loaf ciabatta bread
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Whisk the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic together in a bowl to make the marinade.
- 2
Place the steaks in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, then let them sit for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
- 3
While the steak rests in the marinade, toss the cherry tomatoes, red onion, olive oil, and fresh basil in a medium bowl. Set this aside so the flavors can mingle.
- 4
Heat a grill pan or heavy skillet over medium high heat and cook the steaks to your desired level of doneness, about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare.
- 5
Let the meat rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing it against the grain.

Serve the sliced steak with the fresh tomato salad and warm ciabatta bread on the side.
💡 Tips
Store any leftover steak in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. If you want a bit of extra brightness, squeeze a wedge of fresh lime over the tomato salad right before you serve it.
