Description
Honey Garlic Steak Bites are tender, juicy sirloin pieces cooked low and slow in a luscious honey garlic sauce. This easy slow cooker recipe delivers sticky, sweet, and savory steak bites perfect for a flavorful dinner any day of the week.
Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 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
Finishing
- ¼ cup salted butter
Instructions
- Prepare and Sear the Steak: Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the sirloin steak pieces 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 the browned steak bites to your slow cooker.
- Make the Honey Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, red chili flakes, and cornstarch until smooth. Pour the sauce mixture over the steak bites in the slow cooker.
- Add Butter and Slow Cook: Cut the salted butter into small cubes and scatter over the steak and sauce. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the steak to become tender.
- Serve: After cooking, stir gently to coat the steak bites in the sauce, then serve hot. Enjoy your sticky, sweet, and savory honey garlic steak bites!
Notes
- Sticky, sweet, and savory—these steak bites are a flavor-packed meal suitable for any day of the week.
- For best results, sear steak in batches without overcrowding to ensure proper browning.
- You can substitute sesame oil for a nuttier flavor during searing.
- Adjust red chili flakes to your preferred spice level.
