Salty steak

ingredients:

3 strip steaks (10 to 12 ounces each), about 1 inch thick
1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
1/2 cup water
4 Tbsp soy sauce

instructions:

1) Pat steaks dry with paper towels and season with five spice powder and pepper. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook steaks until well browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to cutting board and tent with foil.

2) Melt butter in empty skillet. Add ginger and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in water and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Slice steaks and drizzle with butter mixture. Serve.
