Recipe Ingredients

  • Seasoning – Season the steak bites with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
  • Garlic – You’ll need freshly minced garlic for this recipe.
  • Low Sodium Soy Sauce – This recipe calls for low sodium soy sauce which adds an umami flavor to the steak bites.
  • Butter – This recipe calls for unsalted butter. It helps form a silky buttery sauce that’s irresistible.
  • Garnish – Garnish with sesame seeds and freshly chopped chives.
