How To Make Asian Steak Bites
- First, cut the sirloin steak into bite sized pieces and keep it in a bowl. Pour the soy sauce, honey and sesame oil over it. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Mix well.
- In a large frying pan, heat up some oil on medium. Add the steak bites, being mindful not to overcrowd them in the pan. Cook till browned on all sides. This can take about 4-5 minutes.
- Mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of water. When the steak bites are done, pour the slurry into the pan. Stir to combine. This will thicken the sauce and it’ll be all glossy and rich.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. It’s time to enjoy your scrumptious Asian Steak Bites. I can smell the deliciousness from here!
Tips For The Best Results
- For a richer flavor, marinate the steak bits in soy sauce mixture for at least 1 hour.
- Don���t crowd the pan while cooking to ensure all steak bites brown evenly.
Storage Tips
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- I wouldn’t recommend freezing them as it can make the meat tough.
