For the Steak Bites

Instructions

1. Marinate the Steak: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the steak cubes and toss until they are well-coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
2. Heat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the skillet.
3. Cook the Steak Bites: Once the skillet is hot, add the marinated steak cubes in a single layer (you may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding). Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer your steak more done. The internal temperature should reach 130°F for medium-rare.
4. Serve: Remove the steak bites from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot on skewers or toothpicks for easy eating. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli, chimichurri, or a classic steak sauce.

Tips for Perfect Steak Bites

• Choose the Right Cut: For tender steak bites, opt for cuts like sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin. These cuts are flavorful and will remain tender when cooked quickly.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cooking the steak bites in batches allows them to sear properly and develop a nice crust.
• Let Them Rest: Allow the steak bites to rest for a few minutes after cooking. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring each bite is juicy and flavorful.
• Experiment with Marinades: Feel free to experiment with different marinades or seasonings to suit your taste. Spices like smoked paprika, cayenne, or even a splash of balsamic vinegar can add unique flavors.
