Ingredients
  

  • pounds top sirloin steak, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon sweet or smoked paprika
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup water, or beef broth
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seed oil, or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, or white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano, or your favorite dried herbs
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • sesame seeds, for garnish
  • sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Pat dry the steak with paper towels, cut it into 1-inch cubes, and season it with paprika, salt, and pepper; set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, water (or broth), garlic, honey, sesame seed oil, rice vinegar, oregano, and cornstarch; whisk until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet set over medium-high heat until sizzling hot.
  • Add 1/2 of the steak cubes to the hot oil and cook for 2 minutes per side or until browned and done. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and repeat with the rest of the steak, adding extra oil as needed.
  • Remove all steak bites from the skillet and set aside.
  • Give the previously prepared honey garlic sauce a good stir with a whisk and pour ⅓ of the sauce into the hot skillet; scrape up the browned pieces from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the steak bites back to the skillet and pour the rest of the sauce over the steak; cook for 1 to 2 more minutes or until the sauce starts to thicken.
  • Remove from heat, transfer the steak bites to a plate, and drizzle with the pan sauce.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and serve.
