Ingredients

450 g Stew meat cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp Olive oil
3 cloves Garlic minced
60 ml Soy sauce
1 tsp Black pepper freshly ground
0.25 cup Fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme, chopped, for garnish
1 splash Worcestershire sauce optional
1 pinch Red pepper flakes optional
1 tsp Onion powder optional
1 tsp Honey or brown sugar optional

Equipment

skillet
mixing bowl
knife

Method

Cut the stew meat into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches.
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and any optional ingredients. Add meat and marinate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated meat in a single layer. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
Reduce heat and cook an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and serve hot.

Notes

Choose well-marbled stew meat for better flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Let the steak bites rest before serving to retain juices. Great as an appetizer or main dish.
