Description
Savor the sweet and savory blend of caramelized honey and soy with seared beef, perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a festive gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb beef sirloin or flank steak (sliced thinly)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch (for coating)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for searing)
- 1/4 cup honey (for sweetness)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (light soy sauce preferred)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp ginger (grated)
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 2 tbsp chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the beef: Pat the steak dry, then thinly slice across the grain and toss with cornstarch until lightly coated.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth; set aside.
- Sear the beef: Heat vegetable oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add beef in a single layer, working in batches.
- Finish the glaze: Return all beef to the pan, pour the honey-soy mixture over, and toss quickly so the sauce reduces and becomes glossy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Garnish and rest: Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions, then let rest for a minute so the glaze sets slightly.
Notes
This dish is versatile and can be served with rice, noodles, or in lettuce cups. Adjust the ginger and garlic for milder flavors if serving to kids.
