Garlic Herb Steak Bites Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak,
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3-4 garlic cloves, (thinly sliced)
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
• flaky sea salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Season the steak and rest for flavor. Add 1 1/2 pounds steak chunks to a baking sheet and season with 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, tossing well. Arrange the steak chunks in an even layer and set aside in the refrigerator, uncovered, for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.

2. 2

   Toss with oil and cook in a hot pan. Drizzle the steak with 1 tablespoon extra virign olive oil and toss to coat. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or stainless steel skillet over medium-high until very hot. In an even layer, add the steak bites to the skillet, season with 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning the pieces until browned on each side and easily release from the pan. Work in batches if needed to avoid crowding and steaming the meat.

3. 3

   Add the butter, garlic, and thyme to the skillet. Make room at the bottom of the skillet (opposite the handle) and add 3 tablespoons butter, 3-4 cloves slivered garlic, and 3 fresh thyme sprigs to the bottom of the skillet. Tilt the skillet to create a pool of melted butter and garlic, then push the steak around to coat with the garlic butter mixture.

4. 4

   Transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle with the butter, thyme, and garlic slivers. Sprinkle with chopped flat-leaf parsley, flaky sea salt, and coarsely ground black pepper, if desired.
