Ingredients
  

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and black pepper until the cornstarch is fully dissolved. Add the steak cubes to the marinade, and toss gently to ensure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours is recommended for enhanced flavor absorption).

    Heat the Pan: Choose a large skillet or frying pan and heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should shimmer and be hot enough to sizzle when the steak is added.

      Cook the Steak Bites: Remove the marinated steak cubes from the bowl, allowing any excess marinade to drip off. Arrange the cubes in the hot skillet in a single layer. To avoid overcrowding, you may need to cook the steak bites in batches. Sear them for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a rich brown color and reach your preferred level of doneness.

        Glaze with Marinade: Once all the steak bites are cooked, lower the heat to medium. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, allowing it to simmer and thicken. Stir occasionally for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce is glossy and coats the steak bites beautifully.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Carefully transfer the glazed steak bites to a serving platter. Garnish with sesame seeds and vibrant slices of green onions. Serve immediately as delicious appetizers, or over a bed of rice for a satisfying main course.
