Bourbon Maple Glazed Steak Bites Instructions

1. Prep the Steak

Pat steak bites dry with paper towels (this is key for a good sear). Season generously with salt and pepper.

2. Sear to Perfection

Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and sear steak bites in a single layer (work in batches if needed).Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.

3. Build the Flavor Base

Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the same pan. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Create the Maple Glaze

Stir in:

• Bourbon maple syrup

• Balsamic vinegar

• Dijon mustard

• Red pepper flakes

Let simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened and glossy.

5. Bring It All Together

Return steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the glaze. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until everything is warmed through and caramelized.

6. Garnish & Serve

Finish with fresh parsley and an extra drizzle of maple syrup if desired.

💡 Pro Tips from the Farm

• Don’t overcrowd the pan – this ensures a proper sear instead of steaming

• Use high-quality maple syrup – your bourbon barrel-aged syrup is what makes this dish shine

• Let the glaze reduce – the thicker it gets, the more it clings to the steak

• Finish with a pinch of flaky salt for a gourmet touch
