Ingredients
  

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, freshly grated

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for cooking)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, cornstarch, and black pepper until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Add the bite-sized steak cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing flavors to infuse (marinate for up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor).

    Heat the Pan: Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Heat the oil until it shimmers, which indicates that it's sufficiently hot.

      Cook the Steak Bites: Carefully remove the marinated steak from the bowl, shaking off any excess marinade. Place the steak cubes in the hot skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan (cook in batches if necessary). Sear the steak bites for approximately 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a rich brown crust and reach your preferred level of doneness.

        Glaze with Marinade: After the steak bites are cooked, lower the heat to medium. Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and glazes the steak bites beautifully.

          Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the glazed steak bites to a decorative serving platter. Sprinkles sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the top for a visually appealing finish. Serve immediately, either as a delectable appetizer or over a bed of rice for a satisfying meal.
