Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 3 to 3.5 pounds thick-cut top sirloin steaks, cut into bite-size pieces
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic salt
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil or sesame oil
Sauce and Cooking Ingredients:
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus additional as needed
- 1 large green bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced (or a poblano pepper)
- 1 large onion, sliced into ¼-inch wedges
Instructions
- Transform top sirloin into precise, uniform cubes measuring approximately 3/4-inch, ensuring consistent cooking and optimal bite-sized portions.
- Create a harmonious marinade by whisking teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, sesame oil, garlic powder, garlic salt, and red pepper flakes until completely integrated and smooth.
- Thoroughly coat steak cubes with prepared marinade, allowing the mixture to infuse meat with robust flavors while vegetables are being prepared.
- Heat a spacious skillet with olive oil over intense high heat, strategically searing steak bites in multiple batches to prevent overcrowding and achieve perfect caramelization.
- Cook each batch of steak cubes for 4-6 minutes, rotating periodically to develop a rich exterior while maintaining desired internal temperature, then transfer to a holding platter.
- Utilizing the same skillet and remaining meat drippings, quickly sauté green pepper and onion slices until they reach a vibrant, crisp-tender texture.
- Reunite cooked steak bites with sautéed vegetables, gently incorporating them to distribute flavors and create a cohesive, appetizing dish.
- Plate immediately, optionally accompanied by steamed rice or noodles, to preserve the optimal temperature and textural integrity of the teriyaki steak bites.
Notes
- Marinating transforms ordinary steak into a flavor-packed bite-sized sensation that’ll make taste buds dance with joy.
