One skillet entrees like these tender Teriyaki Steak Bites with Green Pepper and Onion will make you think you're dining at a steakhouse rather than at your own kitchen table. Tender bite-size pieces of sirloin steak are tossed with a flavorful sauce then paired with green bell pepper slices and wedges of sweet onion. Cooked to perfection, they're ready to be served over teriyaki mushroom rice, or alongside sour cream and onion smashed potatoes or squash casserole or whatever your heart desires. Cook the steak to your desired level on doneness and the only thing left to do is grab a fork and dig in.
Teriyaki Steak Bites with Green Pepper and Onion Fills A Skillet With Flavor
I love making skillets that start with steak tips. It gives me the opportunity to stretch my grocery budget and serve skillets like this one seasoned with a flavorful teriyaki sauce and enhanced by the addition of peppers and onions to add bulk. I'm feeding boys after all, and it can be a challenge at times to fill them up. This simple skillet fits the bill much like my smothered steak tips with mushrooms and onion and sirloin steak tips with colorful peppers and onion that can be wrapped-up in a tortilla and turned into fajitas with ease.

Teriyaki Steak Bites with Green Pepper and Onion
Ingredients
- 3-3 ½ lbs thick cut top sirloin steaks cut into bite size pieces
- Olive oil
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 Tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp corn starch
- 1 tsp sesame seed oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 large green bell pepper seeded and thinly sliced (Or a poblano pepper)
- 1 large onion sliced into ¼-inch wedges
Instructions
- Cut the steak into bite size cubes about ¾-inch.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the teriyaki, brown sugar, corn starch, sesame seed oil, garlic powder, garlic salt and red pepper flakes. Whisk until the brown sugar and corn starch are completely dissolved.
- Pour over the steak bites and toss until evenly coated.
- Drizzle a large skillet (12-inch) with olive oil. Turn to high heat.
- Once the pan is hot, fry the steak bites in batches. (Lower the heat to medium-high if needed to prevent burning) Cook for 4-6 minutes total on both sides turning as needed. Adjust the cooking time to your desired doneness.
- Remove to a platter and keep warm until all of the steak bites are cooked. Add additional olive oil between batches as needed.
- Add the green pepper and onion to the skillet. Saute for 2-3 minutes over medium-high or until crisp tender. Adjust the salt, if needed. (The drippings left behind in the pan will season the vegetables)
- Add the steak bites back to the skillet and stir to distribute.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and serve.

Something doesn’t add up here. 3 1/2 lbs is a lot of meat and this recipe is making very little marinade (only 1/4 of liquid). What am I missing?
Melissa
The liquid in this recipe isn't a marinade. Marinades are generally larger amounts of liquid with meat placed into a bag to soak or marinate overnight. The liquid in this dish is a seasoning and it coats and seasons the meat. A larger amount of liquid won't result in browned steak. You can, of course, add more if you want to, just please note, it will change how the meat fries.
Louise
Recipe sounds delicious. Can I use other beef? I don’t eat steak. We don’t like each other!!
Melissa
Hi Louise, I'm not sure how to answer, do you mean chicken or pork? If so, you could probably adapt this recipe, yes.
Noel
We have made this twice and both times it was a huge hit!
Melissa
Thanks Noel, I'm so happy you're enjoying it!

Im going to use a roast of alpaca. I will cook the meat in the pressure cooker( to ensure tenderness) and cook the vegetables seperatly, combine and throw under the broiler to give it a bit of a char. then serve with rice and french fries. I live in Peru , thats what they expect. I think it will turn out like lomo saltado but using a tougher cut of meat. Personally I would prefer USA mashed potatoes. But here the mashed potatoes are like cream soup It was delish! Even the kids liked it
Amy Sciacca
I used red, yellow & orange sweet peppers instead of green peppers. It tasted great & gave the meal some great color.
Donna
Can you make this recipe with chicken instead of steak
Melissa
Sure!
Gabrielle
Delicious! I just used 1 lb of steak because it's just 3 of us tonight. I also added about a teaspoon of fresh ginger to the marinade. I didn't have a full pepper so I added a whole zucchini cut into bite size pieces. The sauce is delicious. Served with white rice.
Melissa
Sounds awesome, thanks!

This was quick easy and super easy. I paired it with steamed white rice. Omit pepper flakes if you don’t like spicy. Otherwise so good!!!
Dreama
Idont keep sesame seed oil for anything, can I leave it out or use something else?
Melissa
You can omit, if you prefer.
Mary Beth
This was delicious. I added a little extra garlic powder at the end and some salt and pepper. I didn’t have garlic salt so skipped it. I served with sour cream and chive mashed potatoes. Yummy!
Vicki Beatty
So it says 3-31/2 lbs of sirloin? Is that 10 and 1/2lbs if steak?
Melissa
The recipe calls for 3 to 3 1/2 lbs of steak. That's 3 to 3.5 lbs. NOT 31 or 10lbs of steak.
Erin
That’s 6 to 7 half pound steaks (3.5 x .5 steaks = 6-7 )
Christina Marshall
