Garam Masala is an Indian spice blend. Easy to get if you have an Indian market nearby, otherwise you may have to search for it or skip it - delicious either way! Leftover sauce is great on sandwhiches too!

    Cut steak across the grain into approximately 1 x 3 inch slices.

  3. 3

    Combine sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until well combined.

    In a skillet (preferably cast iron), over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and ginger slices. Heat until ginger is fragrant and oil starts to sputter.

  5. 5

    Drain marinade. Add 1/3 of steak slices to pan and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning slices halfway through. Transfer to plate and repeat 2 more times with remaining meat, using 2 more tablespoons of oil per batch.

  6. 6

    Add the carrots to the skillet and toss, then return all the meat to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Remove from heat and add scallions. Serve with rice and sauce.
