-Start with a cut of steak that you love. If you’re indifferent, then go for a sirloin cut. It’s tender, flavorful and inexpensive. If you absolutely love the NY strip, then certainly start with a NY strip cut.
-Cut the steak into equal-size bites (as best as you can), and aim for about 1-inch cubes.
-Season the steak bites with DRY spices only. Avoid using minced garlic, onions or any wet flavoring. This ensures the bites will have a nice golden crust and no water is in the pan.
-Sear the steaks in small batches. Avoid crowding your pan if you’re looking for a nice charred crust on the bites.
-Flip the steak once or twice at most. Don’t be rushed to flip, toss or move the steak bites around in the pan.
-Remove the bites to a plate while you work in batches, but don’t cover them.
-To add garlic, onion, ginger, or your favorite flavor, do so when you’ve seared all the bites and removed them from the pan. Add a touch of butter, sauté garlic/onions, and then return the steak bites back.
-Don’t overcook the steak bites when you return them to the pan. Less than a minute of heat is needed.
-Add the flavorful butter Parmesan and toss the steak bites well, allowing the butter to melt with the heat of the bites.
-The Parmesan butter is the final most dominant flavor the steak bites will have, so don’t skimp on it! It also adds a juicy feel to the steak.
-Serve steak bites on a platter for the perfect gourmet holiday dish. Serve it alongside bread, pasta, veggies, fries or salad. Serve it scooped up with a spoon or individually skewered for a fun way to socialize and gather around food.
