Ingredients
  

1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 cloves black garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Steak: In a bowl, combine the steak cubes, sea salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss until the steak is evenly coated. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature to enhance the flavors.

    Make the Black Garlic Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced black garlic and rosemary to the melted butter and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Sear the Steak Bites: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, carefully add the marinated steak bites in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (you may need to do this in batches). Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a nice crust and reach your desired doneness (medium-rare is around 130°F/54°C).

        Coat with Black Garlic Butter: Once all the steak bites are cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the black garlic butter over the steak bites in the skillet. Toss gently to coat the steak evenly in the rich, flavorful butter.

          Serve: Remove from heat and transfer the steak bites to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top, if desired.

            Enjoy your Black Garlic Butter Steak Bites as a delectable appetizer or a gourmet main dish paired with your favorite sides!
