Notes
Slicing the Beef: Slice the flank steak into thin slices going against the grain for tenderness. Hot Skillet: Ensure the skillet and oil are hot before adding beef to sear and lock in flavor. Use the Right Size Skillet: Cook in a single layer or batches to ensure proper browning. Cooking the Sauce: Simmer until it reaches a syrup-like consistency to coat the beef better. Flavor Adjustments: Add more honey for sweetness or more soy sauce for saltiness.
