Ingredients
  

2 lbs beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved

1/2 cup unsweetened cherry juice

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or mint, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Marinate the Beef: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherry juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk thoroughly until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to your preference. Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or even overnight for enhanced flavor.

    Prepare the Glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, mix the remaining cherry juice, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Add the halved cherries into the pan and cook for an additional 5 minutes to blend the flavors. Remove from heat and set the glaze aside.

      Cook the Beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Carefully remove the beef from the marinade, letting any excess marinade drip off. Working in batches if necessary, sear the beef cubes in the hot skillet for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are nicely browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.

        Combine: Once all the beef is seared, return it to the skillet. Drizzle the prepared cherry glaze over the beef, tossing gently to ensure the beef is well-coated. Allow the mixture to cook together for an additional 3-4 minutes so that the flavors meld beautifully.

          Serve: Carefully transfer the glazed beef to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or mint for a refreshing touch. Serve the dish hot, accompanied by rice or creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the rich glaze.
