Sticky Honey Garlic Sirloin Steak Bites (Oven-Baked) 🥩🍯🧄
Juicy, tender sirloin cubes coated in a sweet, garlicky glaze — baked in the oven and finished sticky and caramelized. Perfect for dinner, bowls, or appetizers!
🛒 Ingredients
1½ lbs (700g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-size cubes
3 tbsp honey
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp water
½ tsp black pepper
Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
Garnish: chopped parsley or sesame seeds
🔥 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2️⃣ Season the Steak
Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels.
Toss with olive oil and black pepper.
3️⃣ Make the Sticky Sauce
In a small bowl, mix:
Honey
Minced garlic
Soy sauce
Melted butter
In another tiny bowl, mix cornstarch + water to make a slurry.
Stir slurry into the sauce (this helps thicken it).
4️⃣ Bake
Spread steak bites in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake for 8–10 minutes (depending on how done you like it).
5️⃣ Glaze & Broil
Brush or toss the steak with the honey garlic sauce.
Return to oven and broil for 2–3 minutes until the glaze bubbles and caramelizes.
⚠️ Watch carefully so it doesn’t burn!

💡 Tips for Extra Tender Bites
✔ Don’t overcrowd the pan
✔ Use room-temperature steak
✔ Broil at the end for that sticky finish
✔ Let rest 5 minutes before serving
If you’d like, I can also give you a pan-seared version or an air fryer version 😊
