Asian Soy-Sesame Steak Bites

Tender, flavorful, and the perfect amount of sweet and salty; these Asian Soy-same steak bites are an easy yet delicious dinner.  With just a little bit of prep, and the right ingredients you can make this tasty recipe yourself. My mom and I especially enjoyed this recipe and how the meat cooked. This was especially important for our family because, my mom usually likes her meat cooked differently than the rest of us.  Typically, my sister, dad, and I all really enjoy to have a nice medium to medium-rare steak that was a great chew and a nice soft pink center.  Although as someone who dislikes the look of red meat my mom tends to dislike steak all together given, the chewiness the steak has when cooked without red on the inside.  When making this recipe though the steak cooked all the way through but didn't turn into a "shoe" as my dad likes to say.  Due to the flavors, and how the meat cooked my mom actually really enjoyed this dish and even went for seconds (Yeah!!!).  Overall I really enjoyed this recipe and hope all of  you try it sometime.

Ingredients:

• 2 cloves of minced garlic
• 1 tsp minced ginger
• 4 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp of brown sugar
• 1 tsp red chili flakes
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• salt + pepper
• 1lb of New York strip steak cut into bite size pieces
• sesame seeds
• green onions

Time:20min cook + 5 hours inactive
Serves:4-5 people

Directions:

To make these steak bites start by marinating the steak cubes in the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, red chili flakes, water, and cornstarch.  Once marinating, wait about 5 hours or more to let the meat absorb the flavors.  Once the meat had been marinated remove the meat from the sauce and cook over medium-high heat.   Taking the sauce place it in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil.  This will allow all of the germs from the raw meat to be killed.  Once the sauce has come to a boil, turn the heat to low and let thicken.  While the sauce is thickening stir the meet in the pan, so it evenly cooks.

 Once your meat is cooked through, take you thickened sauce and pour into the pan with the meat.  Taking some sesame seeds mix everything together so it begins to stick and forms a slight glaze. Top the meat with some green onions for garnish and enjoy!!
