The key step to flavoring these steak bites is a well-balanced marinade. Combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, brown sugar, sesame oil, and rice vinegar in a mixing bowl. Whisk until the marinade is smooth and fragrant. Place the steak pieces in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover tightly and allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Pro Tip: If you have time, leave the steak in the marinade for a few hours for an even deeper flavor!

After marinating, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Reserve the marinade—we’re not done with it yet! Sear the steak in the hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re cooked to your preferred level of doneness. Once done, transfer the steak to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes.

Fun addition! Add a sprinkle of salt as the steak sears for an extra layer of flavor.

Time to utilize that reserved marinade. Pour it into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally and cook until the marinade thickens into a shiny glaze. This step enhances the dish with a deeply concentrated flavor.

Slice your perfectly rested steak into bite-sized pieces. Arrange them on a serving platter, then generously drizzle the glaze over them. Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and freshly chopped green onions for a burst of freshness and texture.
