Description
Quick and flavorful honey-glazed steak strips cooked on a grill pan for a juicy, caramelized bite. Perfect for busy weeknights or casual dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 pound (450g) steak (sirloin or flank steak), sliced into strips
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Add the steak strips to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour) to soak up the flavors.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the steak strips in a single layer, cooking for about 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely charred and cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Pour any remaining marinade over the steak during the last minute of cooking for extra glaze.
- Remove from heat and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
- I sometimes swap honey for maple syrup or brown sugar for a slightly different sweetness.
- Adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the marinade also gives it an herbal lift.
- For a smoky twist, I like adding a dash of smoked paprika or chipotle powder.
- To keep it gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet.
