Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Ingredients

• 16 oz steak (cut into 1-inch piece cubes)
• 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt (Diamond Kosher brand)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 8 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• parsley (optional topping)
• scallions (optional topping)

Instructions

1. 1

   Season steak with salt and pepper and bring to room temp for 45 minutes on the counter.

2. 2

   Heat the cast iron pan over medium-high heat, then add oil to the pan.

3. 3

   Sear the steak bites in batches (to not overcrowd the pan) and transfer the bites to plate when done.

4. 4

   They're done when measured 130 °F with an instant-read thermometer.

5. 5

   If a lot of fat is leftover in the pan, wipe it up with a paper towel, leaving no more than ½ tbsp in the pan per lb of meat). In the same pan on medium heat, add butter. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

6. 6

   Add red pepper flakes and Worcestershire sauce to the pan and quickly mix until incorporated.

7. 7

   Add the steak bites back into the pan and mix to cover with the sauce.

8. 8

   Add optional scallions and parsley on top and serve immediately.
