- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Add the beef cubes, ensuring they are well-coated. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated beef for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and tender. Remove from heat and let rest.
- While the beef is cooking, steam the broccoli florets for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender.
