Creating Sweet and Sticky Steak Bites is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prep the Steak: Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, vegetable oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
3. Marinate the Steak: Add the steak pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 1 hour for more flavor).
4. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a splash of vegetable oil. Heat until shimmering.
5. Cook the Steak: Remove the steak bites from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Add them to the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
6. Add the Sauce: Once the steak bites are cooked, pour the reserved marinade into the skillet. Allow it to bubble and thicken, coating the steak bites in a sticky glaze.
7. Garnish: Once the sauce has thickened, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish the steak bites with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for extra flavor and visual appeal.
8. Serve: Transfer the Sweet and Sticky Steak Bites to a serving platter and enjoy immediately.
