Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 large green pepper, diced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

How to Make Teriyaki Steak Bites with Green Pepper and Onion recipe

Step 1: Marinate the Steak

Combine soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger in a bowl. Add the steak bites, tossing to ensure each piece is well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or if you’re planning ahead, overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor.

Step 2: Cook the Veggies

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the green pepper and onion, sautéing until they are just tender and slightly charred around the edges. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Steak

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess (but don’t throw the marinade away!). Sear the steak bites in batches to avoid crowding the pan, about 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned and cooked to your liking.

Step 4: Bring It All Together

Return all the steak and veggies to the skillet. Pour in the remaining marinade and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring to coat everything in that beautiful glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

Serve hot, sprinkled with sesame seeds for that perfect finishing touch.

Helpful Tips

• High Heat Is Key: To get a good sear on your steak, make sure your pan is hot before adding your meat.
• Marinade Magic: Don’t skip the marinating time. It not only flavors the meat but tenderizes it too.
• Batch Cooking: Cook the steak in batches to avoid steaming them. You want those edges crispy!

Substitutions/Variations

• Protein Swap: Not a beef fan? Try this recipe with chicken or tofu cubes.
• Veggie Varieties: Feel free to throw in other veggies like mushrooms or zucchini for an extra pop of color and nutrition.
