STEAK BITES

Steps:

• Trim off the excess fat from the meat, and then cut strips less than 1-inch wide. Rotate the meat and cut into small bite-size pieces. If you see any more large chunks of fat, gristle or long silvery membrane, cut them off.
• Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Toss the meat around a bit to thoroughly coat with the seasonings.
• Next, turn on your ventilation fan-you'll need it! Heat the skillet over medium-high to high heat. As the pan heats, add about 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Allow the butter to melt, and then get very brown, before you add the meat.
• Place some of the meat in the pan in a single layer. It should sizzle loudly when it hits the pan - if it doesn't, the pan isn't hot enough. Don't stir or disrupt the meat for 30 to 45 seconds. You want it to sizzle and brown on one side. Scoop as many steak bites as you can with your spatula and flip them over. Repeat until all the meat is turned. Cook for an additional 30 to 45 seconds-just long enough to sear the outside of the meat but NOT cook the inside.
• Remove the meat to a clean plate. Add a little more butter to the pan and repeat the cooking process with the next batch just as before. Lastly, when all the meat is nicely browned and removed to the plate, pour all that browned/blackened butter all over the meat. And enjoy!

AIR FRYER STEAK BITES

Steps:

• Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C), if recommended by manufacturer.
• Combine steak bites, mushrooms, and onions in a bowl. Season with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; stir until ingredients are evenly mixed.
• Lightly brush cooking surface of air fryer basket basket with some of the melted butter.
• Pour remaining melted butter over steak bites and vegetables and stir to combine. Spread out steak bites and vegetables in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
• Air-fry in the preheated device until steak has reached desired doneness, about 7 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read between 130 and 140 degrees F (54 and 60 degrees C) for medium-rare. For medium doneness, the temperature should read 140 to 150 degrees F (60 to 65 degrees C). If you prefer your steak more done, add additional cooking time.
• Garnish with fresh parsley, if using, and serve.

BOURBON STREET RIB-EYE STEAK

Steps:

• Whisk together the water, bourbon whiskey, soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice in a bowl, and pour into a plastic zipper bag. Add the rib-eye steaks, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the rib-eye steaks from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Grill the steaks on high, 1 to 2 minutes per side, to sear the meat. Move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes per side, if desired.
