Ingredients
Scale
Marinade Ingredients
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons dried basil
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Steak
- 1 ½ lbs. flat iron or top sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large ziplock bag, combine the low-sodium soy sauce, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, dried basil, dried parsley, and black pepper. Stir these ingredients together thoroughly with a spoon until well mixed.
- Marinate the Steak: Add the 1-inch steak pieces to the ziplock bag with the marinade. Seal the bag tightly and gently shake it to coat all the steak pieces evenly. Place the bag in the refrigerator and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 24 hours for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Heat the Skillet: When ready to cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until it becomes very hot to ensure a good sear on the steak bites.
- Cook the Steak Bites: Remove the steak pieces from the marinade using a slotted spoon, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Discard the marinade. Place the steak pieces in the hot skillet in a single layer, without overcrowding the pan. Cook the steak bites for about 3 minutes to reach medium-well doneness, or adjust cooking time to your preferred temperature.
- Serve and Enjoy: Remove the cooked steak bites from the skillet and serve them warm. Enjoy your flavorful and tender steak bites immediately.
Notes
- Marinate the steak longer (up to 24 hours) for improved tenderness and flavor.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove steak from marinade to avoid excess liquid in the pan.
- Ensure the skillet is very hot before adding the steak to achieve a good sear.
- Adjust cooking time depending on your preferred steak doneness.
- Flat iron or top sirloin steak works best for tenderness and flavor in this recipe.
