The complex flavors of hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, and Sriracha give the sauce a kick, while a little cornstarch produces a velvety texture.

Before You Begin

Serve with rice.

Instructions

Whisk hoisin, vinegar, sesame oil, Sriracha, and cornstarch together in bowl. Pat steak dry with paper towels. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook steak until well browned and meat registers 125 degrees (for medium-rare), 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to carving board, tent loosely with foil, and let rest
for 5 minutes.

Stir hoisin mixture into now-empty skillet and cook over medium-high heat, scraping up any browned bits, until sauce has thickened, about 2 minutes. Slice steak thin on bias against grain and transfer to platter. Stir any accumulated meat juices into sauce and spoon over meat. Sprinkle with cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve.
