Ingredients
  

For the Steak:
  • 1.5 pounds flank steak (or sirloin steak, your choice)
  • 4 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon chili sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 2 large limes (juiced)
  • 3 teaspoons hot chili sauce
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Whisk
  • Serving platter

Method
 

Cooking Instructions:
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the reduced-sodium soy sauce, honey, chili sauce, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, and minced garlic. Whisk together until well blended.
  2. Slice the flank steak into bite-sized pieces against the grain. Place the steak pieces into the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes. For deeper flavor, you can marinate for up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the mayo, lime juice, hot chili sauce, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Adjust the lime juice to taste based on your preference for acidity.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil. Once hot, add the marinated steak pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Avoid overcrowding the pan; you can cook in batches if necessary.
  5. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and transfer them to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds for an extra crunch. Serve alongside the zesty mayo dipping sauce and enjoy your Easy Asian Steak Bites hot!

Notes

  • Marinate the steak ahead of time for deeper flavor.
  • Serve with steamed rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • Store leftover cooked steak bites in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
