Directions:
1. Toss beef cubes with cornstarch, salt, and pepper in a bowl until evenly coated.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beef and sear until browned on all sides, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same pan, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add soy sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
5. Return the beef to the skillet and add pineapple chunks. Toss everything to coat in the sauce.
6. Cook for another 4–5 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens and glazes the beef.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions.
