How to Make Beef Teriyaki Pockets

  1. Cut 1 lb of beef sirloin steak into small, bite-sized pieces. Place the beef in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add 1 cup of teriyaki marinade, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight for maximum flavor).
  2. Cut the 4 pita pockets in half. Spread 1/4 cup mayonnaise generously on each pita half.
  3. Add 1/2 cup shredded lettuce to each pita half and set aside.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated beef in small batches, cooking for just a few minutes per batch until browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked beef from the skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, scrape up any browned bits from the bottom. Add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cornstarch forms a slightly thickened sauce.
  6. Pour the thickened sauce over the cooked beef, stirring to coat evenly.
  7. Fill each pita half with the teriyaki beef mixture. Enjoy immediately!
