Ingredients
Scale
- 3 to 3.5 lbs (1.36 to 1.59 kg) top sirloin steaks, thick-cut, bite-size pieces
- 1 tbsp garlic salt
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil or sesame oil
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp olive oil, plus additional as needed
- 1 large green bell pepper (or poblano pepper), seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced into ¼-inch wedges
Instructions
- Preparation: Cube top sirloin into uniform 3/4-inch pieces, ensuring consistent cooking and perfect portion size.
- Marinade Creation: Whisk teriyaki sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, sesame oil, garlic powder, garlic salt, and red pepper flakes into a smooth, homogeneous mixture that will infuse deep flavor into the meat.
- Meat Marination: Immerse steak cubes completely in prepared marinade, allowing ingredients to penetrate and tenderize while prepping cooking equipment.
- Searing Process: Ignite a large skillet with olive oil over high heat, strategically searing meat in multiple batches to guarantee optimal caramelization and prevent steaming instead of browning.
- Vegetable Interlude: After removing seared steak, utilize the same skillet’s flavorful remnants to quickly sauté green peppers and onions until they reach a vibrant, crisp-tender consistency.
- Final Integration: Reunite seared steak bites with sautéed vegetables, gently combining to distribute flavors and create a harmonious, aromatic teriyaki dish.
- Serving Recommendation: Plate immediately alongside steamed rice or noodles, preserving the meal’s temperature and textural excellence for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Precision Cutting: Uniformly cube top sirloin to 3/4-inch for even cooking and perfect bite-sized portions.
- Marinade Mastery: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth, flavor-packed coating that deeply penetrates the meat.
- Searing Technique: Use high heat and cook in batches to achieve perfect caramelization without steaming the meat.
- Vegetable Timing: Quickly sauté peppers and onions to maintain crisp-tender texture, preserving their vibrant flavor and nutrients.
