Author Coco and Ash

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs New York strip steaks
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 3 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Marinade:

  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • ½ cup soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (you could also use honey)

Instructions

  • Mix all the marinade ingredients together in either a container with a lid or in a zip top bag.
  • Cut the steak into 1 to 1 and a half inch pieces and add to the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or preferably over night.
  • Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat and add the canola oil.
  • Remove the steaks from the marinade (discard the marinade) and pat the steak pieces dry with a paper towel. The less moisture you have on the steaks, the less splatter you will have when you add them to the pan.
  • Sprinkle the steak bites with the ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • Add the steak bites to the hot pan/oil and sear each side for about 1 minute. They should get a nice dark sear on them but still be pink on the inside.
  • Add the seared steak bites to a bowl and set aside.
  • Set the stove top to low and let the pan cool to a low temperature.
  • Add in the butter and once melted, add in the 3 minced garlic cloves.
  • Add the steak (and juices) back to the pan and toss in the garlic butter for just 2 minutes.
  • Add the steak bites to a bowl and pour the remaining garlic butter over them. Serve either as your main dish or as an appetizer.
