Ingredients
– 1 pound beef steak (sirloin or tenderloin works well)

– ¼ cup pure maple syrup
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ teaspoon salt
– Fresh rosemary or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Creating incredible Maple Balsamic Steak Bites is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt.
2. Slice the Steak: Cut the beef steak into bite-sized pieces (1-2 inches).
3. Marinate the Steak: Place the steak bites in a resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the steak, making sure each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and let it marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Heat the Pan: While the steak is marinating, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. You can also use a grill if you prefer.
5. Cook the Steak Bites: Once the skillet is hot, remove the steak from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer.
6. Sear the Steak: Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they reach your preferred doneness. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
7. Add Remaining Marinade: In the last minute of cooking, pour any remaining marinade over the steak bites. Allow it to cook down and thicken slightly.
8. Remove and Rest: Once cooked, remove the steak bites from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes to retain moisture.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with fresh rosemary or parsley before serving for an added touch of freshness.
These crisp and juicy bites are ready to serve and will undoubtedly impress!
