Skillet Teriyaki Steak Bites with Green Pepper and Onion
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. Serve these steak bites over teriyaki mushroom rice, or alongside sour cream and onion smashed potatoes whatever your heart desires.

Teriyaki Steak Bites with Green Pepper and Onion
Ingredients
- 3-3 ½ lbs thick cut top sirloin steaks cut into bite size pieces
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil plus additional as needed
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon 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.

This Teriyaki Steak bite is so delicious! I used Kikkoman Teriyaki Marinade And Sauce and added a bit of Kikkoman Ponzu Citrus Seasoned Dressing & Sauce on the meat for an added twist of flavor. Best paired with my favorite Cold Barley Tea.
Melissa
Thanks so much!
Shannon
Hi Melissa! I just tried this and it was so easy, fast and delicious! I used some petite sirloins that I had and they were perfect.
Thank you sharing. Looking forward to try some of your other recipes:)
Melissa
Hi Shannon, thanks so much, I'm delighted you enjoyed it!
Michalle
What kind of teriyaki sauce do you use?
Melissa
Any brand will do, go with your favorite.
Mary Beth
I have made this three times and always delicious. The only change I make is to use
1 1/2- 2 lbs of petite sirloin. The amount of liquid is perfect for this amount. I put it on top of packaged garlic mashed potatoes. Delicious!
Melissa
Thanks so much!
Sara
It was a good dish. I only used 1 pond of meat since it’s just the two of us and used a red bell pepper. I did half the sauce but I would make the full sauce next time. Served it over rice and had an arugula salad.
Alicia
Loved the flavor profile on this!!! It was delicious. I made some tweeks with thin sliced meat and doubled the sauce with broccoli and rice. Great Job!
Lupe Thomas

Melissa
How wonderful, thank you and send him my best Birthday wishes!
Pattie
Did you ever make in instant pot?
Melissa
I haven't tested this in an Instant Pot. If you try it, let us know how it goes!
DENNIS
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!
Rona
This was delicious and very easy.
Melissa
Thanks so much!
Linda Burns
Delicious! My
Husband and kids loved it too😋
Melissa
Wonderful, thanks!
Maria
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
This looks and sounds delicious! can't wait to give it a try
