Tender seared steak bites tossed in a rich maple balsamic glaze—sweet, tangy, and packed with flavor.
1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp oil (for searing)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: red pepper flakes, chopped parsley or thyme
Pat steak cubes dry and season with salt and pepper. Let rest 15 minutes at room temp.
Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear steak bites in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
Stir in balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and soy sauce. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return steak to pan and toss to coat in glaze. Simmer 1 more minute.
Stir in butter off heat. Garnish with herbs or chili flakes and serve hot.

Can prep steak in advance; reheat in glaze gently.
Serve as an appetizer or over rice, potatoes, or salad.
