We love this recipe because the flavor is amazing.

The steak is seared in a hot pan which takes just minutes, so quick and easy!

Plus it’s versatile – serve them as an appetizer or as bites with a dip. Serve them with a side of fried rice and bok choy for an easy meal.

This marinade is great for all steaks, perfect on the grill (or in a pan per the recipe below) and even makes a yummy marinade for beef skewers.

ingredients to make Ginger Soy Steak Bites

Ingredients for steak bites are super easy to find, you may already have them on hand in the kitchen!

What Steak to Use

Choose a nicely marbled steak, anything you love on the grill will be great in this recipe. Sirloin or ribeye steaks are our favorites because they’re tender.

Marinade

This marinade adds flavor as well as keeping the beef extra tender (and helping with caramelization).

    • Soy adds salt and depth.
    • Garlic & ginger add flavor.
    • Brown sugar adds sweetness and helps with caramelization.
    • Lemon juice adds freshness and tenderizes.
    • Chili flakes add a bit of heat (sub out sriracha if you’d prefer).

How to Make Steak Bites

This recipe is so easy to prepare, but when it comes to flavor it really delivers!

  1. Mix together marinade ingredients and toss with pieces of steak. Marinate at least 30 minutes.
  2. Cook steak bites in oil according to recipe below.
  3. Toss in butter and serve.

Tips for Tender Steak Bites

  • Choose good steaks.
  • Marinate for flavor but no longer than 2 hours. Over marinating a tender steak can make it turn mushy.
  • Preheat the pan and ensure it is hot before cooking.
  • Don’t stir too much, let a crust form before stirring.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan or the bites will not crisp. Cook in batches.
  • Do not overcook. Steak can (and should) be pink in the middle.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds steak sirloin, strip loin, or ribeye
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Marinade

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons ginger fresh, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon red chili flakes

Instructions

  • Combine marinade ingredients. Cut steak into bite sized pieces and add to marinade.
  • Refrigerate 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. Remove from marinade allowing excess to drip off. (Discard remaining marinade).
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil.
  • Add steak in a single layer and cook 2-3 minutes without stirring to get a crust on one side. Stir and cook 1 minute more. Do not overcook.
  • Remove from heat, toss with butter and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure excess marinade has dripped off of the steak or you won't get a nice crust.
Cook steak bites in batches if needed. If the pan is overcrowded, you won't get a good crust.

Roasted Summer Squash (With a Panko Breading)

Roasted summer squash is oven-easy and super tasty! Rounds of squash are seasoned and topped with a crispy crumb topping. I love yellow squash in this recipe but you can use zucchini, patty pans, and even crookneck squash if they’re still popping up in your supermarket. An Easy Side Dish This recipe brings out the very best flavors with just a few ingredients and even fewer steps! Squash takes just minutes to roast and has great flavor. The simple crispy coating clings to each piece adding flavor and crunch! Ingredients or Variations SQUASH Naturally, summer squash is the star here (zucchini or pattypan work great in this recipe too). BREADING  The light breading mixture of Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and some seasonings like lemon pepper, paprika, and salt is what pulls this recipe altogether! OTHER VEGGIES Why not switch up the recipe and add some of your other favorite veggies. Ensure you use ones that have a similar cook time, we love asparagus spears and bel

Fennel Is, Without a Doubt, Our Favorite Spring Herb

Image
Every week we get Down & Dirty, in which we break down our favorite unique seasonal fruits, vegetables, and more.   This week we’ve got fronds on the brain—fennel fronds, that is. You can find fresh fennel year round, but it really peaks during spring. Once you get your hands on fennel, you’ll probably be taken by the pleasant, anise-like aroma and then immediately think to yourself: “Okay…but what do I do with this?” Because as cool as fennel is to look at, and as lovely as it smells, it’s not the most common herb to cook with. Adding crushed fennel seeds to meatballs? Duh! But roasted fresh fennel wedges as part of a weeknight meal? Can’t say that’s exactly in my repertoire.    So if you want to start cooking with fennel, we’ll go over what to look for when selecting fennel, how to store it, and how to use every part of the plant from bulb to stalk to fronds—and more! Licorice haters fear not, there might be hope for you and fennel after all.   What to Look For First things
