Ingredients
  

1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

1/4 cup honey

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

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

2 tablespoons green onions, finely sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a mixing bowl, combine the honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, vegetable oil, rice vinegar, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well until the marinade is fully combined. Add the cubed steak to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are generously coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

    Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the skillet is heating, carefully remove the steak from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use. Add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan for perfect searing.

      Sear the Steak: Cook the steak bites for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. If necessary, cook the steak in batches to allow for even cooking.

        Add the Marinade: Once the steak is browned, pour the reserved marinade back into the skillet. Allow it to simmer with the steak bites for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly and beautifully coats the meat.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Top the steak bites with finely sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for added texture and flavor. Serve them hot.

            Enjoy: These delectable honey garlic steak bites pair wonderfully with steamed rice, grilled vegetables, or a refreshing salad for a well-rounded meal.
