Steak Bites
Bite-size pieces of tender sirloin steak marinated in avocado oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Perfect for an elegant main dish or as an appetizer for any family gathering. I have the secret how to cook the steak bites perfectly!
ingredients:
1/2 cup avocado oil
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoon coarse black pepper
1 1/2 - 2 lbs. thick sirloin steak, fat trimmed and cut in 11/2" cubes
1/2 cup butter
instructions
In a gallon size resealable bag, add oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Seal the bag releasing all the air. With your hands, move the cubed meat around until well coated with the seasoning and sauces. Let sit for 30 minutes.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat to high heat and turn on the overhead ventilation fan. As the pan is heating, add two tablespoons of butter and heat until rapidly sizzling. Lift the skillet and swirl the butter around to the edges.
Lift a handful of the cubed meat and quickly place on the hot sizzling butter along the outer side of the skillet first leaving the center open to add some meat later. Cook for 30 seconds and then add a few cubbed pieces of meat to the center of the skillet. Cook all of the meat for 30 seconds more. (I find this is the best way to keep the meat in the center from being overcooked.) It needs to brown and sizzle on one side before turning it. If the meat cooks too fast add a little Worcestershire sauce to lift the meat off the bottom and keep from burning. The skillet needs to be really hot so do not adjust the temperature.
Using a metal spatula, scoop as many steak bites as possible and turn over. Repeat until all the steak bites have been turned over. Cook another 30-45 seconds until the outside is brown and the center is not cooked all the way.
Using the metal spatula, remove all the meat to a large platter. Immediately add 2 more tablespoons of butter and repeat the cooking process until all the cubed meat is cooked.
When all the meat is cooked and on the platter, pour all the browned butter and meat drippings over the steak bites.
NOTES:
The cubed steak may be marinated overnight and taken out of the refrigerator 30 minutes to an hour before cooking. The meat needs to be room temperature before cooking. Beef Tips may be substituted for sirloin steak. A heavy gauge skillet may be substituted for a cast iron skillet. Seasonings may be adjusted to your taste.
