Ingredients
- 10 ounces hanger steak
- 1 orange, divided
- 1 packet honey
- 3 packets soy sauce (gluten-free), divided
- 8 ounces shishito peppers 1 lime
- 1 cup pineapple
- 1⁄4 bunch cilantro
- 1⁄2 teaspoon Maldon salt
Instructions
1. Marinate Steak
Rinse steak and pat dry with paper towel. Halve orange. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. When pan is just smoking, add orange cut-side down and char, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine juice of 1⁄2 charred orange, honey, and 2 packets soy sauce. Add steak to bag and shake to coat. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes at room temperature or overnight in fridge.
2. Prepare Ingredients
While steak marinates, preheat broiler to high. Rinse shishito peppers and pat dry with paper towel. Halve lime. Cut pineapple into 1⁄4-inch dice. Rinse cilantro and finely chop leaves, discarding stems.
3. Make Pineapple Salsa
Add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to pan from orange over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add pineapple and cook until browned and softened, stirring often, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add juice of remaining 1⁄2 charred orange, remaining soy sauce, and cilantro. Stir to combine. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Set aside.
4. Broil Shishito Peppers
On a baking sheet, arrange shishito peppers in a single layer. Broil until charred and blistering, about 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and immediately squeeze over juice of 1 lime, then sprinkle with Maldon salt.
5. Cook Steak
While shishito peppers cook, wipe pan from pineapple clean and add 2 teaspoons vegetable oil over medium- high heat. Remove steak from marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and season on both sides with salt and pepper. When oil is shimmering, add steak and cook until browned and medium rare, 4- 5 minutes per side.
6. Plate Steak
Remove steak from pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes, then cut against the grain into 1⁄4-inch slices. Divide steak and shishito peppers evenly between 2 plates. Top steak with pineapple salsa and serve.

This is the second recipe that calls for a “packet” of honey. I am unfamiliar with that term. What is the measurable quantity of a “packet”?
