How to Make Garlic Steak Bites

Not everyone is in the mood for a whole steak all the time. Sometimes, you might want just a few pieces. Steak bites with garlic and a dipping sauce is a perfect way to provide a meaty, but smaller, treat. Now, you can treat your family to steak as an appetizer, serve steak as a party dish for your guests or cook bites in large enough portions for dinner.

Things You'll Need

  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • Pan
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced and divided
  • 1 lb. tenderloin steak, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
  • Spatula
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp. heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil
  • 1 tbsp. horseradish
  • 1 tbsp. parsley
  • 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp. onion salt
  • Food processor
  • Bowl

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat for about three minutes. Add garlic cloves and reduce to low heat. Cook for another three minutes.

  2. Sprinkle steak cubes with salt and pepper.

  3. Add steak cubes to oil and garlic and cook until desired doneness, flipping with the spatula to brown the meat on all sides. Well-done steak cubes will take about seven minutes. Medium-rare bites should take about three minutes.

  4. Place remaining ingredients in food processor and mix well. The resulting sauce should be thick and clumpy and have a deep, red color.

  5. Place cooked steak cubes on a plate with a small stack of toothpicks.

  6. Pour the dipping sauce into a bowl. Serve alongside the steak cubes.

  7. Use toothpicks to spear the steak bites and dip them into the sauce.
