1 ½ lb boneless striploin steak
½ tsp each salt and cracked black pepper
1 tbsp canola oil
¼ cup Compliments Unsalted Butter
2 tbsp minced garlic
¼ cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
2 tbsp chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
16 to 18 small wooden picks or skewers
Directions
1Pat steak dry with paper towel. Trim off and discard excess fat. Cut the steak into 1 in. (2.5 cm) cubes – 16 to 18 cubes. Season all sides with salt and pepper.
2Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed or cast-iron frypan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches if needed, sear the steak cubes on 1 side for 2 min. until well-crusted and golden brown. Tip: When searing, don’t shake the pan, poke or move the steak. Cook the meat undisturbed to create a crust. Turn cubes over and sear the opposite side. Only brown the 2 sides of the cubes to avoid overcooking. Aim for an internal temperature of 55°C (130°F) for medium-rare. Transfer seared steak bites to a plate.
3Using the same pan, reduce the heat to medium-low, swirl in the butter and minced garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, just until the garlic is golden, about 1 min. Remove the pan from the heat and, if using, stir in the blue cheese until melted. Return steak bites to the pan, any juices collected on the plate, plus the parsley. Gently toss to coat the meat in the garlic-butter sauce.
4Transfer steak bites to a serving plate, spooning the garlic-butter sauce overtop. Insert a pick or skewer into the top of each piece. Sprinkle with additional chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
Tips
1
The blue cheese is optional, but it boosts the umami flavour of the beef and will have guests guessing at the delicious secret ingredient.
2
Try garnishing with finely chopped chives or green onion for added fresh flavour.
