🔪How to Make Honey Garlic Steak Bites
Here is a step by step guide for cooking Instant Pot steak bites:
- Slice steak into bite size pieces.
- Turn the pressure cooker on saute mode. Saute steak bites with olive oil. Turn off saute mode.
- Pour in 2 tablespoons teriyaki and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Toss with 1 tablespoon garlic.
- The liquid from the steak bites being sauteed along with the sauce is enough to bring it to pressure.
- Set to high pressure for 15 minutes. Once the Instant Pot is done counting then quick release pressure.
- Drain off the liquid. Add in remaining soy sauce and teriyaki. Toss with remaining garlic. Add in honey and stir well. This can be done on saute mode to keep the sauces warm.
- Plate your honey garlic steak bites and serve with your choice of vegetables.
👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Choose the Right Cut: Opt for a well-marbled and tender cut, like London Broil or sirloin, for the juiciest and flavorful steak bites.
- Uniform Size for Even Cooking: Cut the steak into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. This prevents some pieces from being overcooked while others remain undercooked.
- Use a Natural Release: After pressure cooking, allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for a few minutes. This helps the steak bites remain juicy and tender, preventing them from drying out.
- Add Vegetables Smartly: If incorporating veggies like asparagus, add them after pressure cooking or use the Instant Pot's sauté function. This keeps them crisp and vibrant, complementing the steak bites perfectly.

Hi. I can't wait to try the steak bites..... But my question is, I have a Farberware instant pot. Mine doesn't say HI pressure. So how would i know how to set it
The Faberware instant pot has a high pressure mode according to the manual. Do you still have the instructions? I don't personally have one of these brands but if you can't find the button, i'd just cook on regular!
If you put in more than one steak, will it need to be cooked longer?
I would add an extra two minutes for an extra steak but if you're adding a whole heap more then that would change the cooking times quite a bit.
I have a ton of stew meat I need to use up. Do you think this will work?
I haven't tried stew meat but i'm sure it would work just the same. Give it a go.
I haven't tried this recipe yet but it is on my to do list 🙂

Cooked this dish yesterday for lunch and the results was phenomenal...husband said it's the best lunch I ever cooked! The meat was tasty, tender and juicy.
