Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or flank), sliced into thin strips
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Pat the steak strips dry with paper towels to enhance browning. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika if using.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Set aside.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Allow it to heat up but not smoke.
- Place the steak strips in the pan in a single layer. Sear for 2 minutes undisturbed, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until browned and nearly cooked through.
- Lower heat to medium. Pour in the honey-soy mixture and toss to coat the steak strips. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens and caramelizes.
- Remove from heat once the steak is cooked to your preference. Serve immediately, spooning any extra glaze over the top.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the steak in the honey-soy mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Serve over rice, noodles, or a bed of steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content if preferred.
