Description
Make quick, flavorful steak bites coated in a sweet and savory sticky glaze. This recipe is simple for a weeknight meal or an easy appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the steak cubes to the skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Add the soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger to the skillet.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
- Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly with the sticky glaze.
- Cook for 1 minute more until the steak is fully coated and heated through.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with black pepper, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the steak cubes in half the soy sauce and pepper for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or chopped green onions before serving for color and texture.
- If the glaze becomes too thick before adding the steak back, add one teaspoon of water to thin it slightly.
