🥩 Ingredients:
For the Honey Beef:
-
500g beef strips (sirloin or tenderloin)
-
2 tbsp olive oil
-
3 tbsp honey
-
2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)
-
1 tbsp garlic, minced
-
1 tsp black pepper
-
1 tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

Salt to taste
For the Roasted Potatoes:
-
3 medium potatoes, cubed
-
1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp paprika
-
½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp dried thyme (optional)

Salt & pepper to taste
🔥 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Marinade:
In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add beef strips and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best flavor).
2. Roast the Potatoes:
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Toss cubed potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking tray and roast for 25–30 minutes or until golden and crispy.
3. Cook the Beef:
Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated beef and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until caramelized and cooked through.
4. Combine & Serve:
Serve the honey-glazed beef over roasted potatoes. Drizzle any extra sauce from the pan over the top and garnish with fresh parsley or green onions.
🍽️ Serving Suggestion:
Pair with a fresh cucumber yogurt salad or steamed veggies for a balanced Mediterranean-inspired meal.
