Cooking Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
Add the sirloin or flank steak, ensuring it’s well coated with the marinade. Cover and let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, adding a splash of oil until it shimmers.
Add the marinated steak bites in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized and cooked to desired doneness.
Transfer to a platter, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve warm.
