Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Seasoning
- 1 lb Steak (sirloin or flank), sliced into thin strips
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
Glaze and Cooking
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
Instructions
- Prepare Steak: Pat the steak strips dry with paper towels to ensure better browning. Season evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika if using.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until fully combined. Set aside to use later.
- Heat Grill Pan: Place a grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Allow it to heat until hot but not smoking.
- Sear Steak Strips: Arrange the steak strips in a single layer on the hot grill pan. Let them sear undisturbed for about 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until browned and nearly cooked through.
- Add Glaze: Reduce the heat to medium and pour the honey-soy mixture over the steak strips. Toss to coat the strips evenly, letting the glaze bubble and caramelize for 1-2 minutes while stirring frequently to ensure thorough coating.
- Finish and Serve: Once the glaze has thickened and the steak is cooked to your preferred doneness, remove from heat. Serve immediately, drizzling any remaining glaze from the pan on top for extra flavor.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
- Use sirloin or flank steak for the best texture; thin slicing helps with quick cooking and tender bites.
- Patting the steak dry before cooking prevents steaming and helps achieve a nice sear.
- Serve these steak strips over rice, salad, or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the thickness of the steak strips and desired doneness.
