Ingredients

For the Steak

  • 500g beef sirloin or ribeye steak
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

For Cooking

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Glaze

  • 1/4 cup Harry's Hot Honey - Japanese Sweet Soy Honey Glaze

Optional Garnishes

  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Thinly sliced spring onions

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

  1. Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick, for quick cooking. Tip: Partially freezing the steak for 15–20 minutes makes slicing easier.
  2. Place the steak strips in a mixing bowl. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, grated garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and salt. Toss to coat.
  3. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavour).

Step 2: Cook the Steak

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the steak strips in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan (cook in batches if needed). Sear the strips for 1–2 minutes per side until browned and slightly charred on the edges. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Add the Glaze

  1. Once all the steak pieces are cooked, reduce the heat to low. Brush each piece generously with Harry's Hot Honey - Japanese Sweet Soy Honey Glaze. The glaze will create a sticky, glossy layer that clings beautifully to the steak.
  2. Return the brushed steak strips briefly to the pan to warm through, about 30 seconds on each side, but avoid overheating to preserve the glaze’s silky texture.

Tips for Success

  • Choose Your Cut Wisely: Sirloin and ribeye are tender cuts that work well, but flank steak can also be used if thinly sliced.
  • Control the Heat: A hot pan ensures a good sear, giving the steak its signature crispy edges.
  • Perfect Pairing: Serve over steamed rice, stir-fried veggies, or fresh salad greens for a complete meal.
