Prepare the Hot Honey Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, red chili flakes, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar
Sear the Protein: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add the beef, and let it sit for 3 minutes to develop a crust
Aromatize: Add minced garlic and grated ginger once the beef is 70% cooked, and stir for 60 seconds
Glaze and Emulsify: Pour the hot honey mixture over the beef and stir constantly until the sauce thickens
Assemble the Bowl: Divide rice or quinoa into bowls and top with the glazed beef
Final Garnish: Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired

Adjust spice by reducing or omitting red chili flakes.

To make gluten-free, use Tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
