Steak Bites

 Hey all!

It is fall season and we think you will really enjoy this fun dish!  It can be an appetizer or meal! Cooking steak is fun on its own but why not cut it up into fun bite sized pieces and try something new!  This dish came out so wonderful we absolutely loved it!   This dish also is Gluten free as long as the seasonings you use are!  So try this out as a dinner or app at your next party!  Check out below how we pulled this one off!  This dish is also Gluten Free if you check to make sure the seasonings are you used!  

Prep Time: 40 Minutes
Cook Time: 10 
Total Time:

Serves- 6-8 (Depending how many steaks you buy)

Ingredients: Steak- 1 steak per person we used NY Strip USDA Choice (Middle of the road, BUY FRESH STEAKS) 2 Tablespoons of canola oil 2 tablespoons minced garlic or 4 cloves Steak Rub- we bought ours to save time however below is a generic steak rub! Steak Dry Rub 3 Tablespoons Salt 3 Tablespoons Smoked Paprika 2 Tablespoons Onion Powder 2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder 2 Tablespoons Dried Oregano 2 Tablespoons Ground Black Pepper 1 Tablespoon Light Brown Sugar 1 Tablespoon Ground Cumin Mix all together.

Directions: Buy FRESH strip steaks, as many as you have people. (We used 4 for the vid) Season all the steaks front and back with salt. (You can use pepper/AP rub as well if you want.) Let the steaks sit for about 30 minutes so they can warm up a bit and the salt can extract some of the moisture. After 30 Minutes trim all the fat off the steaks Cut the steaks in to bit sized pieces, about quarter inch sized pieces. Place the steak pieces in a large bow and coat in a rib rub. Either the one above or any you like! Toss the steak bites in the rub coating them all. Heat up your cast iron pan. (Or cooking pan if you don't have cast iron.) Add Canola oil and let the oil get nice and hot. Once hot place the steak bites on the pan/oil and let sear. You wan the pan hot so you sear the steak bites Flip the steak bites after about a minute, or so. After another minute or so remove the steak bites. (Depending how you like your steak cooked. Leave them on longer if you like them med to well done.) Leave all the oil/grizzle in the cast iron and add butter. Once the butter is melted add the garlic. Add the steak bites back in to the pan. Move the steak bites around and baste them in the butter garlic mix. After basting for a minute or so take them out and plate them up. Add some chopped up parsley over top and a spoonful or two of the basting oil from the pan. Serve up with tooth picks as an app or eat for

Here they are!

We do think you will enjoy this dish, they came out really good. Great flavor, the steak cut so well and the meat just melted in our mouths. This dish surprised us all! Below is the video on how we put it all together so be sure to check that out!

We do hope you enjoyed the video and try this one out! Steaks alone are so good but try cutting one or two up and doing this. You also will be the hit at any party if you serve this as an app! This dish is Gluten free if you check the seasonings to make sure they are! It is a win win! Thanks everyone for joining us and we do hope you try this along with other dishes we have made!
