Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet and Sticky Steak Bites
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, fresh ginger, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes until fully combined. Toss in the sirloin steak pieces, ensuring they are well coated in the marinade. Cover and let the steak marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  2. While the steak marinates, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil to prevent sticking. Swirl to coat, and wait for it to shimmer slightly.
  3. Once the pan is hot, carefully place the marinated steak pieces in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on one side until caramelized and browned, then flip to cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  4. After the steak reaches your desired doneness, remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately while warm.
