Instructions
Preparation Steps
Pat the steak dry with paper towels, then cut into 1 inch cubes. Season evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.
Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat.
Sear steak bites in a single layer in batches for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until browned on the outside and medium-rare inside. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining steak.
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet; once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook for 0.5 minute until fragrant.
Stir in honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until slightly thickened and glossy.
Return steak and any juices to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce for 0.5 to 1 minute, just to warm through.
Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
For best browning, avoid overcrowding the pan and let the steak sear undisturbed. Swap sirloin for ribeye or New York strip if preferred. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
