How to Get the Perfect Crust on Steak Bites

The secret to perfect steak bites is a screaming hot cast-iron skillet. First, make sure you pat your steak completely dry with paper towels before seasoning; any moisture will cause the meat to steam instead of sear. When you place the steak in the pan, don’t touch it! Let it sit for 2 full minutes to develop that beautiful golden-brown caramelized crust. Also, don’t overcrowd the pan. If the pieces are touching, they will boil in their own juices.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

Main

• 1.5 lbs Sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black pepper
• 4 medium Zucchini, spiralized into noodles (zoodles)

Method

 

Main

1. Pat the steak cubes completely dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it is smoking hot.
3. Add the steak bites in a single layer (work in batches if necessary so you don’t overcrowd the pan). Sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a crust.
4. Flip the steak bites and sear for another 1-2 minutes until browned on all sides.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove the steak bites to a plate, leaving the garlic butter in the pan.
6. Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet with the remaining garlic butter. Toss gently for just 1-2 minutes until barely softened (do not overcook or they will become mushy!).
7. Return the steak bites to the pan, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
