Is it just me or does the crazy begin when August does? With kids in school, August is full of registration, shopping, hair appointments, tuition payments, etc and I need FAST dinners. I saw that sirloin steak was on sale and these Sweet Teriyaki Steak Bites came to mind. This is a delicious, easy, 30 minute meal!
Sirloin steak is sauteed with ground ginger and coriander until just barely done. Then cook onions, bell pepper and garlic in the steak juices. Make a quick sauce with teriyaki sauce, soy, sesame oil, brown sugar, sriracha and cornstarch. Pour over the steak and veggies, let it thicken, then serve over rice. It’s SO easy and my whole family gobbled this up!

How to Make Sweet Teriyaki Steak Bites
First, you’ll need a few pounds of sirloin steak. Since this kind of steak can get tough quickly, either cut into small pieces or slice thin against the grain.
Also, don’t overcook! The steak was still pretty pink when I removed it from the pan because I knew it would cook more when I added it back in. Cook for just 5 minutes with salt, pepper, ground ginger and ground coriander.
The ground coriander is a must! It’s used often in Asian cooking and has an earthy citrus aroma and taste. I love it!
Remove the steak, then cook the onions and peppers for 5 minutes. While they are cooking, make the sauce.
Whisk teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, sriracha, and cornstarch together. Then add garlic to the vegetables, then steak, and stir to combine. Pour the sauce over everything and it will thicken within seconds. Sweet Teriyaki Steak Bites are done!
Serve over rice then top with a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
