One skillet entrées like these 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. It features tender bite-size pieces of sirloin steak that are seasoned and smothered with a flavorful sauce. I like to pair it with green bell pepper and onion wedges which expands the flavor profile and adds color, too.
Easy Teriyaki Steak Bites Recipe
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.
How to Make the Best Teriyaki Steak Bites Recipe
- Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Teriyaki Steak Bites: Top sirloin, olive oil, teriyaki sauce, light brown sugar, garlic powder, garlic salt, cornstarch, toasted sesame oil or sesame oil, green bell pepper and onion.
- Kitchen tools you'll need: A large 12 inch skillet, sharp knife and cutting board, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, large spoon for stirring and a small bowl.
- You can make this teriyaki steak skillet using another kind of steak. When doing so, adjust the cooking time depending on the cut that you choose to use. Cook the steak to your desired level of doneness and the only thing left to do is grab a fork and dig in.
- You could also use a red or yellow bell pepper or a variety of peppers like fajitas. Regardless, the flavor combination is still Asian inspired.
- Toasted sesame oil adds a punch of flavor to the steak bites. A little goes a long way so be mindful and use the amount called for in the recipe.
- I use toasted sesame oil in this recipe. You can use plain sesame oil in the same amount, if desired.
- Store cooked Teriyaki Steak Bites chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat or in an air fryer. I don't recommend reheating steak in the microwave.
- Side dishes to serve with steak bites: Teriyaki Rice with Mushrooms and Peas, you could also serve them over Oven Baked Rice or with a side of Cheesy Mashed Potato Casserole and Roasted Panko Parmesan Broccoli. You could never go wrong with a Wedge Salad drizzled with bleu cheese dressing.

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!
Sharon L Stuebi
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
