Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine soy sauce, chopped garlic, ground ginger, sugar, and sherry wine to make marinade.
- Marinate steak cubes in the mixture for at least 1 hour.
- Drain meat and reserve the marinade liquid.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of margarine in a medium skillet.
- Brown the steak cubes quickly on all sides in the skillet.
- Place cooked meat in a chafing dish.
- Pour the reserved sauce over the meat and stir occasionally.
- Optional: Add pineapple chunks to the chafing dish before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, let the steak marinate overnight. If you don’t have sherry, consider using rice vinegar or a splash of apple cider vinegar as a substitute. To add a twist, try incorporating sesame oil into the marinade for additional depth. Be sure to brown the steak quickly over high heat to retain its juiciness, similar to techniques used in Fried Beef With Spring Onion.
Serving Suggestions
Serve teriyaki steak bites with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with grilled vegetables or a fresh cucumber salad. For a festive touch, consider adding pineapple chunks to the dish before serving, enhancing the tropical flavor profile. These bites also make a great appetizer at parties alongside other finger foods like Teriyaki Shish Kabobs.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover teriyaki steak bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water to prevent drying out. Avoid microwaving as it can make the steak tough. Enjoy them cold in salads or wraps for a quick lunch.
