Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 3 lbs. sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 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

Instructions
- Sear the Steak: Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sirloin pieces and season them evenly with salt and pepper. Sear the steak bites on all sides until browned, about 2 minutes per batch, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Once browned, transfer the steak bites to your slow cooker.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, red chili flakes, and cornstarch until smooth and well combined.
- Combine and Add Butter: Pour the sauce mixture over the browned steak bites in the slow cooker. Distribute the cubes of salted butter evenly on top.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 5 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the steak to become tender and flavorful.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the honey garlic steak bites hot with your preferred sides and enjoy this flavorful, tender dish!

- Be sure not to overcrowd the pan while searing to achieve a proper brown crust on the steak.
- The slow cooking process tenderizes the steak and infuses it with the rich sauce flavors.
- Adjust red chili flakes according to your desired spice level.
