- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
For the Sweet and Sticky Glaze
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (halal-certified)
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Steak
- In a large bowl, toss the steak cubes with cornstarch, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 2: Sear the Steak Bites
- Add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 3: Make the Sweet and Sticky Glaze
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Stir to combine.
- Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
Step 4: Combine and Glaze the Steak Bites
- Return the seared steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the sauce until evenly coated. Cook for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the glaze sticks to the steak.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Transfer the steak bites to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve hot with your favorite sides.
