Notes
Pro Tips

Dry steak thoroughly for best sear. Don't crowd the pan or meat will steam. Let the meat sear undisturbed to develop crust. Medium-rare to medium is ideal for tender bites. The garlic butter should be made in the same pan to capture fond. Serve immediately while hot.

History & Origin

Steak bites bring the steakhouse experience into casual, shareable format. The high-heat searing creates a flavorful crust while keeping the interior tender and juicy. Finishing with garlic butter and fresh herbs adds restaurant-quality richness.
