Step by step

  1. 1 Place the steak on a chopping board and tenderise the meat by tapping it with a meat mallet.
  2. 2 In a bowl, mix together the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, chopped garlic, and sesame oil.
  3. 3 Cut the onion into strips and the chives diagonally.
  4. 4 In a frying pan over high heat, sear the chops on both sides and remove them.
  5. 5 In the same pan, sauté the onion and chives over high heat. Optionally, give them a touch of blowtorch for a smoky flavour.
  6. 6 Add the meat back in and add water until it is covered.
  7. 7 Add the sauce and allow it to reduce. Turn the meat occasionally so that the sauce is absorbed well.

  9. 9 Serve with cooked rice and sprinkle with chives as a topping.
