Ingredients
Scale
Steak and Marinade
- 2 pounds top sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup Honey Teriyaki sauce (Sweet Baby Ray’s recommended)
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine the honey teriyaki sauce, low-sodium soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and vegetable oil. Whisk thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly into a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the Steak: Add the 1-inch steak pieces into the marinade. Stir gently to coat all pieces well. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Remove Steak From Marinade: After marinating, use a slotted spoon to remove the steak pieces from the marinade, letting excess liquid drip off. Discard the remaining marinade to avoid contamination.
- Cook the Steak Bites: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the steak pieces to the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd it to ensure proper searing. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes until the steak reaches medium-well doneness. Remove the cooked steak bites to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining steak pieces.
- Serve: Serve the steak bites immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy the juicy, sweet, and savory flavors!
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the skillet to ensure a good sear; cook the steak bites in batches.
- The steak is best marinated for at least 2 hours but can be refrigerated for up to 8 hours for more flavor.
- If you prefer your steak cooked differently, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Use fresh garlic for best flavor rather than pre-minced garlic.
- This recipe pairs well with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
