Ingredients:

1 cup honey
240g
1 cup soy sauce
240g
1/2 lb beef
230g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup of honey and 1 cup of soy sauce.
- Mix well until the honey is completely dissolved in the soy sauce, forming a smooth marinade.
2. Marinate the Beef:
- Cut the 1/2 lb of beef into thin strips or bite-sized pieces, depending on your preference.
- Place the beef pieces in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
- Pour the honey soy marinade over the beef, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Cook the Beef:
- Remove the beef from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking.
- Preheat a grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the beef from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off.
- If using a skillet, you can add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the beef in batches if necessary, ensuring the pieces are in a single layer.
- Grill or sear the beef for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Avoid overcrowding the cooking surface to achieve even cooking.
4. Rest and Serve:
- Once the beef is cooked, transfer it to a plate and let it rest for a few minutes to retain its juices.
- Serve the marinated beef hot as a main dish. It pairs well with steamed rice, sautéed vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Choose a good quality honey and soy sauce for the best flavor.

- Marinate the beef for at least 1 hour, but for more intense flavor, let it sit overnight in the refrigerator.

- Ensure the beef is well-coated with the marinade, turning it occasionally if marinating for a longer period.

- For a spicier kick, consider adding some minced garlic, ginger, or a dash of chili flakes to the marinade.

- If you're grilling or pan-frying the marinated beef, remember to remove excess marinade to prevent burning.

- Always discard any used marinade or bring it to a boil if you plan to use it as a sauce.

With this easy and flavorful honey soy marinade, you can transform a simple cut of beef into a mouthwatering delight. By allowing the meat to soak in the sweet and savory mixture, you ensure every bite is packed with rich, complex tastes. Follow these tips for the best results and enjoy a delightful meal that will impress family and friends alike. Happy cooking!
