Ingredients

For the marinade

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the steak

  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or tenderloin)
  • Fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme) for garnish

Instructions

Preparation

  • Start by cutting the steak into bite-sized pieces for optimal flavor absorption.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  • Add the steak pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated, and let sit for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the marinated steak to the pan.
  • Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Serve warm or allow to cool before portioning into meal prep containers. Top off with fresh herbs for an added touch of flavor.

Notes

For a deeper flavor, consider marinating the steak overnight. Use a cast-iron skillet for a beautiful sear on the steak bites. Adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the marinade can enhance the umami flavor.
