Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1 lb (454 grams) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
Bread:
- 1 baguette, sliced
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) butter
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Optional Topping:
- Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast at 350F (175C) for 5 minutes until achieving a golden-brown hue.
- Select a skillet and heat olive oil over medium-high temperature, creating a sizzling surface for searing steak cubes.
- Introduce seasoned steak cubes into the hot skillet, allowing each side to caramelize for 2-3 minutes, developing rich exterior coloration.
- Transfer cooked steak bites to a separate plate, preserving their perfect seared texture.
- Reduce skillet heat and introduce butter, allowing it to melt smoothly into the pan’s surface.
- Incorporate minced garlic and garlic powder, stirring continuously to release aromatic flavors without burning.
- Reintroduce seared steak bites into the garlic-infused butter, gently tossing to ensure comprehensive coating.
- Allow steak bites to warm through in the fragrant butter for an additional minute, maximizing flavor absorption.
- Carefully arrange toasted baguette slices on a serving platter, creating an inviting presentation base.
- Crown each golden bread slice with succulent garlic-buttered steak bites.
- Optionally garnish with freshly chopped parsley and delicate Parmesan shavings for enhanced visual appeal and taste complexity.
- Serve immediately while maintaining optimal temperature and crisp-tender texture.
Notes
- Enhance flavor by using high-quality steak cuts like ribeye or sirloin for maximum tenderness and rich taste.
- Select fresh, crusty baguette with good structure to prevent soggy bread when topped with steak bites.
- Control cooking temperature carefully to prevent overcooking steak, keeping meat juicy and medium-rare for best texture.
- Experiment with alternative seasonings like smoked paprika, rosemary, or red pepper flakes to customize flavor profile and add personal touch.
