5 Spice Steak Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Brush the steaks with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with 1 tablespoon of the five-spice powder and a pinch of salt.
• Toss the bok choy and red pepper with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 teaspoons five-spice powder. Season with a pinch of salt.
• Add the steaks, bok choy and peppers to the grill. Cook, flipping halfway, until the steaks and vegetables are grill-marked and the steaks are cooked to desired doneness, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board.
• Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise, rice vinegar and soy sauce in a small bowl.
• Divide the rice between 2 bowls and top with the vegetables. Slice the steaks and divide between the bowls. Garnish with the mayonnaise mixture and green onions, as well as a tablespoon each of the chili paste and hoisin sauce.

Steps:

• Cook the noodles per package directions.
• While noodles are cooking, combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, five-spice powder, and steak in a large bowl.
• Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat.
• Add in minced green onions and garlic; stir/saute 30 seconds.
• Add beef mixture; cook 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Stir in tomato, green onion pieces, and basil; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Serve beef mixture over noodles.

Steps:

• Finely grate 2 tsp. orange zest from 1 orange into a small bowl. Cut all oranges in half; set aside.
• Add five-spice powder, brown sugar, and 2 tsp. kosher salt to bowl with zest and stir to combine. Rub steak all over with spice mixture.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over high. Cook steak, turning often, until browned on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 130˚F for medium-rare, 15-20 minutes total. After steak has cooked for about 5 minutes, nestle orange halves cut side down around steak and cook until well browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer oranges to a plate. Transfer steak to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.
• Arrange broccolini in an even layer in same skillet and heat over high. Cook, undisturbed, until well charred, about 3 minutes. Toss and continue to cook until tender and slightly charred all over, about 3 minutes more. Transfer to a large bowl. Squeeze in juice from 2 orange halves over. Add sesame oil, red pepper flakes, 1 tsp. sesame seeds, and remaining 1/4 tsp. kosher salt and toss to coat.
• Transfer steak to a platter. Arrange broccolini mixture alongside. Top with scallions, sea salt, and remaining sesame seeds. Serve with charred orange halves to squeeze over, rice, and hot sauce alongside, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees.
• Coat a cast-iron skillet with cooking spray and place in the oven while preparing the spice rub.
• Combine the sugar, five-spice powder, garlic powder and salt in a small bowl.
• Sprinkle half the mixture evenly over the surface of the steak, then pat or rub it into the meat.
• Turn the steak over, and repeat on the second side.
• Place the steak in the hot cast-iron skillet.
• Cook 6 to 7 minutes on each side, depending on desired degree of doneness.
• Remove the steak from the oven, and let it rest on the carving board for 3 to 5 minutes.
• Cut it across the grain on the diagonal in thin strips.
