If you’re like our family and have leftover steaks after BBQs, this recipe is perfect for you!
This is my mom’s go-to way to use up any steaks we had leftover and it tastes so delicious! It is very easy to make and combination of soy sauce, garlic, salt and butter just sets this steak on fire!
For this dish, you can use either uncooked or cooked leftover steaks (as long as it was only seasoned with salt and pepper). In the case you use previously cooked steaks, don’t add extra salt & black pepper and cook for less time.
This recipe can be served as a side dish, or a full entree served with cauliflower rice and vegetables. It also is a prefect way to cook steaks when it’s too cold outside to fire up the grill!
This dish as pictured is low-carb/keto approved at ~5g per serving, so feel free to use all the leftover on this recipe! I would describe the taste as creamy garlic soy sauce flavor paired with the juicy bites of steak cubes.
The only unique ingredients you would need for this one would be Japanese sake (or Dry Sherry). Here is the sake we normally use for reference.
Now, let’s get started!

1) Gather all the ingredients.
2) Pat steak dry with paper towel. Cut steak into cubes about 1/4 x 1/4 inch. Moderately sprinkle salt and pepper onto cubes and set aside.
3) Grind garlic with a grinder or garlic press and place into mixing bowl.
4) Thinly cut green onions and place into mixing bowl.
5) Add Soy Sauce and Japanese sake into mixing bowl and set aside.
6) Optional cauliflower rice – in a large Teflon fry pan, melt butter on high heat. Once the butter is melted, add cauliflower rice and cook for 3-5 minutes stirring frequently or until desired tenderness.
7) In a new/clean large Teflon fry pan, melt butter on high heat. Once the butter is melted, add steaks and cook until outside is seared, about 1-1.5 minutes.
8) After steaks are seared, add sauce and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds. Serve on cauliflower rice and pour any excess sauce on top. Note – we actually recommend to serve this in a bowl with the cauliflower rice on the bottom, steak on top and the extra juice poured over. The plating illustrated is only for picture purposes.
