JACK'S TERIYAKI POCKETS

My family loves this!!

2 lbs cheap steak, cut in bite-size pieces
FOR THE MARINADE:
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup honey
4 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp ground ginger
1 tbsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt (I omit this!)
1 tsp celery salt
FOR THE SAUCE:
1/4 cup reserved marinade
1 tbsp corn starch
FOR SERVING:
1 pkg pita pockets
2 cups shredded lettuce
1/2 cup mayonnaise

Cut steak into small bite sized pieces and put in plastic bag; set aside.

Mix the marinade ingredients together in non reactive (Metal) container. RESERVE 1/4 cup of the marinade to use for making the sauce. Add the remaining marinade to the meat in the plastic bag and marinate for at least 1 hour (or refrigerate and marinate longer, preferably overnight!)

WHEN READY TO COOK:
In very hot skillet cook meat in small batches for just a few minutes each.

Cut pita pockets in half so you have two; spread mayonnaise liberally and put 1/2 cup shredded lettuce inside, set aside.

When finished cooking the meat, take reserved 1/4 cup marinate and put into same pan scrape (deglaze) pan. Add corn starch over medium heat and cook until thickened. Add the sauce to meat and put meat into pockets.....ENJOY!!!!!
