Steak Bites Recipe—Everything you love about steak in a one-bite package, marinated and cooked with a scrumptiously savory blend of ingredients! Made with soy sauce, Worcestershire, olive oil, garlic and herbs, the marinade boosts the meat, so that each bite is intensely seasoned and tender.
After marinating, the steak pieces are seared in a very hot skillet, quickly, to seal the juices inside and form a crust with little bit of flavor. Enjoy adjusting the cooking time according to your preference for doneness — 3 minutes on each side for medium-well doneness, or whatever you want. Rest your steak bites for just a short time after you cook them to help them hold onto their natural juices and deliver a juicy, flavorful bite.
These steak bites are great with a sprinkle of fresh herbs and served with garlic mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, to a crisp salad. Ideal for any event, this recipe is good and easy to prepare!
Why You Will Love This Steak Bites Recipe:
Packed With Flavor The marinade: It’s a umami-forward compound of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and herbs that will provide the steak with notes of roughed-up, rich flavors.
Quick and Simple: The steak bites come together in a matter of minutes, needing only a quick sear in a hot skillet. Maximize flavor by marinating well ahead of time and then cooking them quickly, when you’re ready to eat.
Flexible Serving Options: These steak bites are an excellent appetizer, can be served as part of a main course, or added to salads, wraps, or rice bowls.
Juicy and Tender: Marinating will break down the flesh, making it tender; a hot sear keeps juices from escaping, so every bite is juicy and tasty.
Key Ingredients:
Soya Sauce : To add saltiness and depth of flavor. Soy sauce is the backbone of the marinade, contributing each savory umami note.
Olive Oil: Moisturizes the steak and allows the marinade to stick to the meat. Olive oil also helps develop a good sear.
Worcestershire Sauce: Adds a touch of tanginess and an extra depth of umami to the marinade. It pairs beautifully with the soy sauce and the garlic.
Garlic: Provides heat and fragrance. Freshly minced garlic gives the steak bites an extra kick of sharp, savory flavor.
Dry Basil and Dry Parsley: Between these, you’ll get some earthy, aromatic flavors. Dried herbs are good for marinades, because they hold up when they sit over time.
Black Pepper: Adds mild heat, and balances the savory and tangy flavors in the marinade.
Flat Iron or Top Sirloin Steak: These cuts are very tender and flavorful which makes them perfect for quick-cooking applications. Flat iron steak is particularly tender, while top sirloin exhibits a deep beefiness.
