Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Note: Dry meat equals a better crust
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium high heat until it begins to smoke. Note: The smoke is your signal that it's ready
  3. Add beef in a single layer and sear for 2 minutes per side until a mahogany crust forms. Remove steak to a plate.
  4. Lower heat to medium. Add butter and once bubbling, sauté minced garlic for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Stir in honey, soy sauce, and lemon juice.
  6. Simmer and reduce for 2–3 minutes until thickened into a syrup.
  7. Return steak bites to the pan and toss for 1 minute to coat in the glaze.
