Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious Asian Steak Bites and Potatoes:

For the Steak Bites:

  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use Tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for searing)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions, chopped (for garnish)

For the Potatoes:

  • 1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved or quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Flank or Sirloin Steak: These cuts are perfect for steak bites because they’re tender yet have a great texture. Flank steak is lean, and sirloin provides a rich flavor, both ideal for a quick cook.
  • Soy Sauce: A key ingredient in the marinade, soy sauce brings depth of flavor and a salty umami taste. Tamari can be used as a gluten-free alternative.
  • Sesame Oil: Adds a distinct nutty flavor that complements the soy sauce in the marinade, enhancing the Asian-inspired flavors.
  • Honey: Balances out the savory soy sauce and adds a subtle sweetness to the marinade.
  • Potatoes: Baby potatoes are perfect for roasting because they cook quickly and develop a crispy exterior while staying tender on the inside.
  • Garlic and Ginger: These aromatics are essential for bringing authentic, bold flavors to the marinade.

Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Season the Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
  3. Roast the Potatoes: Spread the seasoned potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden and crispy, flipping the potatoes halfway through for even cooking.

Prepare the Steak Bites:

  1. Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). This will be your marinade for the steak bites.
  2. Marinate the Steak: Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces and place them in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak and toss to coat. Let the steak marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for more flavor. If you have more time, marinate the steak in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
  3. Sear the Steak: Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated steak bites to the pan in a single layer. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
  4. Garnish the Steak: Remove the steak bites from the pan and set them aside. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro or green onions.

Combine and Serve:

  1. Assemble the Dish: Serve the roasted potatoes on a large platter or individual plates. Top with the Asian steak bites and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. You can drizzle extra marinade over the potatoes or serve it on the side for dipping.
  2. Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot and crispy for a delicious, hearty meal that will satisfy your cravings.
