Description
Honey Garlic Steak Bites are tender, juicy beef cubes seared and glazed in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. Perfect as a quick dinner or party appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, fat trimmed, diced into cubes just under 1-inch
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- Green onions or sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place the steak pieces in a gallon-size resealable bag.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and garlic. Pour this mixture over the steak, seal the bag while pressing out excess air, and rub the marinade over the beef.
- Transfer the bag to the refrigerator and let it marinate for 1–2 hours.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Working in batches, remove half the steak from the marinade and transfer it to the skillet. Sear until golden brown, about 1 minute, then rotate to the opposite side.
- Continue to cook to the desired doneness, about 1 minute longer (internal safe temperature is 145°F).
- Transfer the cooked steak to a plate and repeat with the remaining steak.
- Serve the steak bites warm, garnished with green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
- Use fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme in the marinade for extra flavor.
- Substitute chicken or tofu for steak for a different variation.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to maintain texture.
