Description
Garlic Honey Steak Bites are a quick and flavorful dish featuring tender sirloin steak marinated in a savory-sweet blend of low-sodium soy sauce, honey, and garlic, then pan-seared to a perfect golden brown.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, fat trimmed, diced into cubes just under 1-inch
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 Tbsp)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil
- Green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Place the diced sirloin steak pieces in a gallon-size resealable bag. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, and minced garlic until well combined. Pour the marinade over the steak in the bag, seal it tightly while pressing out excess air, and massage the marinade evenly over the steak pieces to coat them thoroughly.
- Transfer the sealed bag to the refrigerator and let the steak marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
- When ready to cook, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove half of the steak pieces from the marinade, spacing them apart in the skillet.
- Let them sear without moving for about 1 minute, until golden brown on one side.
- Flip the steak bites to the other side and continue cooking for about 1 more minute or until the internal temperature reaches a safe 145°F.
- Transfer cooked steak bites to a plate and repeat the searing process with the remaining steak pieces and the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.
- Serve the garlic honey steak bites warm, garnished with sliced green onions or a sprinkle of sesame seeds if desired.
