Cajun Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Ingredients
 

  • Cajun season mix:
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Steak bites:
  • 1 1/2 lbs. sirloin steak
  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • parsley, fresh finely chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare:
  • - Cut the steak into approximately 2" pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
  • Season:
  • - Mix the seasoning blend ingredients in a small bowl, then add them to the mixing bowl with the steak bites. Toss to ensure thorough coating.
  • Preheat the skillet:
  • - Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Allow it to heat without any oil until wisps of smoke appear.
  • Sear (in batches):
  • - Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, coating the pan by swirling.
  • - Place about half of the steak in the skillet (adjust if it's not large enough to avoid overcrowding).
  • - Sear for 2 minutes without flipping, then flip and sear for another 2 minutes until well browned. Set aside on a plate and repeat with the remaining oil and steak bites.
  • Make garlic butter:
  • - Reduce heat to medium-low, using the same skillet without washing it. Add butter, melt it, and then add garlic. Cook for approximately 30 seconds, scraping the browned bits from the pan with a wooden spoon.
  • Combine and serve:
  • - Turn off the heat, add the steak bites back to the skillet, and stir well to combine with the garlic butter.
  • - Serve hot, garnished with minced fresh parsley.

Notes

1. For smaller steak bites, you can cut the steak into about 1-inch pieces and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
2. Customize the Cajun seasoning blend to suit your taste preferences.
