Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 lb Steak (sirloin or flank), sliced into thin strips
Marinade & Glaze
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Steak: Pat the steak strips dry with paper towels to ensure better browning. Season them evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika if you choose to use it for an extra smoky flavor.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until fully combined. Set this flavorful mixture aside.
- Heat the Grill Pan: Place a grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Heat until the oil is hot but not smoking to achieve a good sear.
- Sear the Steak: Arrange the steak strips in a single layer on the hot grill pan. Allow them to sear without moving for about 2 minutes, then flip each piece and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until nicely browned and nearly cooked through.
- Glaze the Steak: Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the honey-soy glaze over the steak strips and toss to coat thoroughly. Let the glaze bubble and caramelize for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure every piece is evenly coated.
- Finish and Serve: Once the glaze thickens and the steak reaches your preferred doneness, remove the pan from heat. Serve immediately with any remaining glaze drizzled on top for extra flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use sirloin or flank steak as they slice well and cook quickly.
- Patting the steak dry before seasoning helps achieve a better sear and crust.
- You can adjust the amount of honey to make the glaze sweeter or milder according to taste.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad to balance the rich glaze.
- Leftover steak strips can be refrigerated and reheated gently for up to 2 days.
