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)
Honey Glaze
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
For Cooking
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Pat the steak strips dry with paper towels to ensure better browning. Season them evenly on all sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika if you choose to use it.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic until thoroughly combined. Set this mixture aside.
- Heat the grill pan: Place a grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until it is hot but not smoking, which usually takes a couple of minutes.
- Sear the steak strips: Arrange the steak strips in a single layer on the hot pan. Let them cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes for a good sear. Then flip and cook the other side for 1 to 2 minutes until the strips are browned and nearly cooked through.
- Apply the glaze: Lower the heat to medium. Pour the honey-soy glaze over the steak strips and toss everything gently to coat each piece. Let the glaze bubble and caramelize for 1 to 2 minutes while stirring frequently to prevent burning and to evenly cover the steak.
- Serve: Once the glaze has thickened and the steak reaches your preferred doneness, remove the pan from heat. Serve the steak strips immediately, drizzling any remaining glaze from the pan on top for added flavor.
Notes
- Patting the steak dry before cooking helps achieve a better sear and caramelization.
- For thicker strips or tougher cuts, consider marinating longer or adjusting cook time slightly.
- Serve this dish with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
- Adjust the amount of paprika or omit it for a milder flavor profile.
- The glaze can be prepared ahead and refrigerated for convenience.
