Steak Bites Recipe 455

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!

Steps:

• Heat a 12-inch (5 cm) cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for at least 10 minutes.
• Add the steak to a medium bowl and season with the salt and pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
• Thread 2 pieces of steak onto each rosemary sprig, sliding up the stem until the steak meets the leaves. Using scissors, trim the bottom of the sprigs so each end is about ½ inch long.
• Add the olive oil and garlic to the pan, stir, and let heat for about 1 minute.
• Once the oil begins to smoke, add 1 tablespoon of butter and stir to distribute. Place the skewers in the pan. Sear, without moving, for about 2 minutes, until a nice brown crust forms on one side. Using tongs, carefully flip each skewer over and brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the steak skewers from the skillet and set on a clean baking sheet to rest.
• Without reducing the heat, carefully pour the wine into the skillet. Cook until reduced to ¼ cup, 5-10 minutes. Once reduced, remove the garlic from the pan and discard.
• Add the sugar and remaining 4 tablespoons of butter to the red wine reduction and stir until combined, 1-2 minutes.
• Garnish the steak skewers lightly with salt and pepper, then transfer to a serving platter and spoon the sauce on top.
• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Season steak with a pinch of salt and pepper, then cut steak into bite-size pieces.
• In a large bowl, combine all batter ingredients. Whisk until all ingredients are mixed through.
• Preheat about an inch (2 cm) of oil to 350˚F (180˚C) into a heavy, high-sided skillet or pan.
• In a medium bowl, add flour and salt. Place steak into the flour, then batter, and then into the flour again.
• Lower the steak bites into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
• Cook each side for 4 minutes or until golden brown.
• Transfer it onto a drying rack and season with salt.
• Discard the oil on the pan, but leave some oil for the gravy. In the same bowl, add flour, milk, and salt, and mix until thicken.
• Dip the steaks into the gravy.
• Enjoy!
