Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 3 lbs. sirloin steak
- 2-3 Tbsp. cooking oil (can use sesame oil)
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. black pepper
Sauce
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp. red chili flakes
- 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
- ¼ cup salted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet and sear steak: Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sirloin steak bites, seasoning them with salt and black pepper. Sear the steak bites on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per batch to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Transfer steak to slow cooker: Once the steak bites are nicely browned, transfer them to your slow cooker, setting the stage for slow cooking.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, red chili flakes, and cornstarch until smooth and well combined.
- Add sauce and butter: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the steak bites in the slow cooker. Then, cut the salted butter into small cubes and evenly distribute them on top of the steak.
- Slow cook the steak bites: Cover the slow cooker and cook the steak bites on LOW heat for 5 hours allowing the flavors to meld and the steak to become tender.
- Serve and enjoy: Once cooked, serve the honey garlic steak bites immediately and enjoy the rich, sticky, and savory flavors.
Notes
- Sticky, sweet, and savory—these steak bites are a flavor-packed meal for any time of the week.
- Use sesame oil for added nutty flavor if desired.
- Cooking in batches prevents overcrowding and ensures perfect searing.
