Ingredients
  

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

3 tablespoons honey

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for added heat)

Chopped green onions for garnish

Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, grated ginger, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Add the cubed sirloin steak to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.

    Preheat the Pan: Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat up adequately, as a hot pan is essential for searing the steak effectively, which enhances both flavor and texture.

      Cook the Steak Bites: Remove the marinated steak from the refrigerator. Drain any excess marinade by letting it drip off. In the hot skillet, add the steak cubes in a single layer; if your pan is small, you may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear the steak bites for about 2-3 minutes until they are nicely browned on one side. Flip them over and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. The goal is to achieve a medium-rare doneness (internal temperature of 130°F).

        Add Remaining Marinade: Once the steak bites reach the desired doneness, pour in the reserved marinade. Stir to evenly coat the steak bites in the sauce. Let the marinade simmer in the pan for an extra 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly and enhance the flavor profile.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully transfer the steak bites to a serving platter. Generously sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for a delightful touch. Enjoy them hot as a delectable appetizer, or serve over a bed of rice for a satisfying main course.
