Place the sliced 1 1/2 pounds boneless rib eye steak in a large Ziploc bag. In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup coconut aminos, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3-4 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon Korean red pepper paste. Add the sauce to the beef in the Ziploc bag and stir to combine. Marinate the meat for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add half of the marinated meat and arrange it in a single layer in the pan to evenly cook. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining oil and meat.
Garnish with 4 green onions (sliced), 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, and serve over cooked rice.

- Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container or plastic bag in the fridge for up to 4 days.

- Freeze cooled meat in an airtight, freezer-safe container or plastic bag for up to 3 months.

- Reheat from frozen by letting this thaw in the fridge overnight or on the counter at room temperature for a couple of hours before heating on the stovetop or microwave until warmed through. Stir halfway to distribute heat evenly.
