• Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
• Serve the steak with a side of steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
• Experiment with different types of honey to add subtle variations to the glaze.
• Allow the steaks to rest after cooking to ensure the juices redistribute and the meat remains tender.

Presentation advice

Arrange the sliced steaks on a plate, slightly overlapping, and drizzle the umami glaze over them. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions or sesame seeds for an added touch of color and texture.
