What can I use if I don't have bourbon?

You can simply omit it or substitute with 2 tablespoons of beef broth or water. The glaze will still thicken and taste great. The bourbon mainly adds a warm, complex note and helps the sauce reduce quickly. If you use broth, you'll get a deeper savory flavor in your honey garlic glaze.

Can I prepare the steak strips ahead of time?

Absolutely. You can slice the sirloin or flat iron steak and marinate it in the fridge for up to 8 hours. When ready to cook, pat the strips dry. This is crucial for a good sear. I don't recommend cooking them ahead, as they reheat best in a skillet with a splash of water to refresh the soy sauce glaze.
