🥩 Ingredients

For the steak bites:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and black pepper (to taste)

For the garlic-herb sauce:

• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons butter

Optional thickener:

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water

🔪 Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Beef

Start by patting the beef pieces dry with paper towels. This helps them brown better. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Sear for Flavor (Optional but Recommended)

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned.

Why this matters: Searing locks in flavor and adds a rich, caramelized taste to the final dish.
