Easy Honey Garlic Steak Bites

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds top sirloin steak (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
• 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup beef broth (or water)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Sliced green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1

   Season steak: Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season them with sweet paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

2. 2

   Whisk sauce: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, beef broth, minced garlic, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, dried oregano, and cornstarch until well combined.

3. 3

   Sear steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add half of the steak cubes (do not overcrowd). Sear them for about 2 minutes per side. Reserve and repeat with the remaining steak (you can add more oil if necessary).

4. 4

   Deglaze pan: After removing the steak, pour about one-third of the honey garlic sauce into the skillet. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

5. 5

   Cook steak: Return all the steak bites to the skillet and pour the remaining sauce over them. Cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce thickens (don't forget to stir).

6. 6

   Garnish: Once done, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the steak bites on a platter, drizzled with any extra sauce from the pan, and garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
