STEAK BITES

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pound sirloin steak (without much gristle) or pre-cut beef tips
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
Butter

Steps:

  • Trim off the excess fat from the meat, and then cut strips less than 1-inch wide. Rotate the meat and cut into small bite-size pieces. If you see any more large chunks of fat, gristle or long silvery membrane, cut them off.
  • Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Toss the meat around a bit to thoroughly coat with the seasonings.
  • Next, turn on your ventilation fan-you'll need it! Heat the skillet over medium-high to high heat. As the pan heats, add about 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Allow the butter to melt, and then get very brown, before you add the meat.
  • Place some of the meat in the pan in a single layer. It should sizzle loudly when it hits the pan - if it doesn't, the pan isn't hot enough. Don't stir or disrupt the meat for 30 to 45 seconds. You want it to sizzle and brown on one side. Scoop as many steak bites as you can with your spatula and flip them over. Repeat until all the meat is turned. Cook for an additional 30 to 45 seconds-just long enough to sear the outside of the meat but NOT cook the inside.
  • Remove the meat to a clean plate. Add a little more butter to the pan and repeat the cooking process with the next batch just as before. Lastly, when all the meat is nicely browned and removed to the plate, pour all that browned/blackened butter all over the meat. And enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use flank steak or skirt steak: These cuts are best for fajitas because they are thin and cook quickly.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a flavorful mixture of spices and liquids will help tenderize it and add flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender.
  • Don't overcook the steak: Steak is best when it is cooked to medium-rare or medium.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for fajitas include grilled onions and peppers, guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.

Conclusion:

Southwest steak bites are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party. The steak is marinated in a flavorful mixture of spices and liquids, then grilled over high heat until cooked to perfection. Serve the steak bites with your favorite toppings, such as grilled onions and peppers, guacamole, salsa, and sour cream, and enjoy!
