Ingredients
Scale
- Flank steak or sirloin (or chicken breast or tofu for a vegetarian option)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- Rotini pasta
- Bell peppers, sliced
- Green onions, sliced
- Salt (for pasta water)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, minced garlic (2 cloves), and grated ginger (1 tablespoon) to prepare the marinade.
- Place your steak in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over it. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- While the steak is marinating, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- In a small saucepan, bring the remaining marinade to a boil over medium heat. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked rotini with sliced bell peppers and green onions. Drizzle with a bit of the thickened glaze and mix well.
- Slice the rested steak against the grain and serve it over the rotini mixture. Drizzle additional glaze on top and garnish with more green onions if desired.

Keywords: Allow the steak to rest after cooking to retain its juices. You can add a splash of sesame oil to the glaze for a nutty flavor or sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added crunch. If you prefer a less sweet dish, reduce the amount of honey or balance it with a bit of lime juice for acidity.
