Cast Iron Skillet Steak Bites with Sriracha Mayo

Equipment

Ingredients

For the steak bites:

  • Sirloin steak about 1/2 pound per person for entree or 1/4 pound per person for appetizer
  • Extra virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon per pound of meat
  • Montreal steak seasoning 1 teaspoon per pound of meat
  • Butter 1 tablespoon per pound of meat

For the Sriracha mayo:

  • 1 clove garlic pressed
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Sriracha
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Make the Sriracha mayo by mixing all the ingredients with a small whisk. Set aside.
  • Cut the sirloin steak into 1 1/2 inch cubes. Trim away excess fat and tough connective tissue.
  • Put the steak cubes in a medium mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with Montreal steak seasoning.
  • Mix the meat and seasoning with your hands, making sure all the steak chunks are thoroughly coated. Let the steak marinate for about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium high heat. Let the skillet preheat for 5-10 minutes.
  • Put the steak pieces in the skillet, making sure not to crowd the pan. If needed, you can cook the steak bites in two or more batches.
  • Once the steak bites are in the pan, add the butter. Tilt the pan if necessary to distribute the butter.
  • Let the steak bites brown thoroughly on one side, for about 2 minutes. Flip the steak bites with tongs, and brown on the other side.
  • Cook the steak bites to an internal temperature of 130 degrees for medium rare, or 135 for medium, measured with an instant read cooking thermometer.
  • Remove steak bites from heat and serve with Sriracha mayo as a dipping sauce.
