  2. Drain excess fat if desired, but a little keeps the flavor alive.
  3. Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the beef.
  4. Drizzle hot honey and soy sauce over the beef. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through.
  5. Serve over a bed of cooked rice or grains, and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
