Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 3 lbs. sirloin
- 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: Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to get it hot enough for searing.
- Sear the Steak Bites: Add the sirloin pieces to the skillet and season them evenly with salt and black pepper. Sear on all sides until they are nicely browned, about 2 minutes per batch. Avoid overcrowding by working in batches if necessary.
- Transfer to Slow Cooker: Once browned, move the steak bites into your slow cooker to prepare for slow cooking.
- Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, red chili flakes, and cornstarch until smooth and well combined.
- Add Sauce and Butter: Pour the sauce mixture over the steak bites in the slow cooker. Cut the salted butter into small cubes and scatter them evenly over the top.
- Slow Cook: Set the slow cooker to LOW and cook the steak bites for 5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
- Serve: After cooking, give the steak bites a gentle stir to coat in the sauce, then serve warm and enjoy your sticky, flavorful meal.
Notes
- Sticky, sweet, and savory—these steak bites make an amazing flavor-packed meal any day of the week.
- For best results, sear the steak in batches to avoid steaming the meat.
- Adjust chili flakes to taste if you prefer less or more heat.
- This recipe works well with sirloin, but you can try other tender cuts.
- Serve with steamed rice or vegetables to complete the meal.
