Description

Tender steak pieces coated in a sweet and sticky glaze, perfect for a quick and flavorful appetizer or main dish.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
  • Green onions, chopped for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the steak cubes and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  4. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
  5. Return the steak to the skillet and toss to coat the steak in the sticky sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the steak to absorb the flavors and the sauce to become sticky.
  6. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the steak in the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
  • You can substitute the sirloin steak with ribeye or flank steak for a different texture.
  • Serve this dish with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
