Description

This Tender Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Steak Bites recipe offers a flavorful and succulent dish made with bite-sized sirloin steak cubes slowly cooked in a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. Perfect for an easy, hands-off meal, the slow cooker ensures the steak becomes tender and infused with the aromatic blend of soy sauce, honey, garlic, and spices. Garnished with green onions and sesame seeds, these steak bites are ideal served over rice, mashed potatoes, or as a delicious appetizer.

Ingredients

Steak and Sauce

  • 1 1/2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Sauce Thickener (Optional)

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water

Garnish (Optional)

  • Chopped green onions
  • Sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, red pepper flakes (if using), and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Add steak and sauce to slow cooker: Place the bite-sized sirloin steak cubes into the slow cooker. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the steak, then stir gently to coat all the steak pieces evenly with the sauce.
  3. Slow cook the steak bites: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours, or until the steak is tender and fully cooked through.
  4. Thicken the sauce (optional): About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, if you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir this slurry into the slow cooker, leave the lid off, and continue cooking for the remaining 30 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
  5. Garnish and serve: Once cooked, sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the steak bites for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately.
  6. Serving suggestions: These honey garlic steak bites are delicious served over steamed rice, creamy mashed potatoes, or simply enjoyed as a savory appetizer.

Notes

  • Adjust the red pepper flakes quantity according to your preferred spice level or omit for no heat.
  • The cornstarch slurry is optional but recommended if you like a thicker, glaze-like sauce.
  • For best texture, use sirloin or similar tender cuts of steak.
  • You can meal prep by making this recipe in advance and reheating gently before serving.
  • Garnishes like green onions and sesame seeds enhance color and flavor but can be omitted if unavailable.
