  2. Pour the sauce over the cooked beef in the skillet and stir to combine.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or a skillet until heated through. Make sure to slice the beef thinly for faster cooking. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water to thin it out. Adjust the sweetness of the honey according to taste. For extra crunch, consider adding stir-fried or steamed vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli.
