Description
Marinated Steak Bites are tender, juicy chunks of beef soaked in a savory marinade and quickly seared to perfection. They’re perfect for appetizers, quick dinners, or adding to salads and bowls, offering bold flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1–2 tablespoons butter (for searing)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl or zip-top bag, combine soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, and salt.
- Add steak pieces and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours.
- Remove steak from marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter.
- Add steak bites in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed to get a good sear.Use a meat thermometer to check doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.Resting the meat helps keep it juicy.Use tender cuts like sirloin, ribeye, or New York strip for best results.Patting the steak dry before searing helps create a nice crust.
