Ingredients
Steak Bites Ingredients
- 2 lbs Ribeye Steak (New York Strip or any other steak meat will work too), leave at room temp for 30-60 min before cooking
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1/8 tsp cayenne
- 2 tsp oil
Chimichurri Sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup chopped parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- 2 tsp lime or lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp chopped chili pepper (deseeded) (optional, for spiciness)
- 2-3 tbsp oil (avocado, light olive oil, etc.)
Instructions
How to make the Chimichurri Sauce
-
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
To make into a dip: combine all ingredients in a blender and whiz until smooth.
How to cook Steak Bites
-
Trim the steaks of any connective tissue or fat and cut into 2-inch cubes. Add the seasoning, oil, then toss to coat.
-
Heat a cast iron skillet until almost smoking over medium-high heat and sear the steak bites in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side for medium and 3-4 for well done. Do not overcrowd the skillet, or the steak bites will boil instead of searing.
-
Transfer to a warm bowl, toss with as much or as little of chimichurri sauce and serve.
