Ingredients

Scale

Steak Bites

  • 8 oz flank or sirloin steak, cut into small cubes
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Garlic Bread

  • 1 fresh French baguette, sliced into ½-inch thick pieces
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, freshly minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Horseradish Cream

  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp prepared horseradish
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter Spread: Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small pan over low heat. Stir in freshly minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and mix in 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. This creates a rich and aromatic garlic butter spread for the bread.
  2. Toast the Garlic Bread: Slice the baguette into ½-inch thick pieces. Brush each slice generously with the prepared garlic butter. Arrange on a baking sheet and toast in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy on the edges.
  3. Cook the Steak Bites: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper. Sear the steak bites in batches, cooking each side for 2-3 minutes until nicely browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest while preparing the sauce.
  4. Whip Up the Horseradish Cream: In a small bowl, combine ½ cup sour cream with 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish. Add salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of lemon juice for brightness (optional). Adjust the horseradish amount to your taste to balance creaminess with a spicy kick.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Place seared steak bites atop each toasted garlic bread slice. Dollop a generous spoonful of horseradish cream over the steak bites. Garnish with extra fresh parsley and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Steak: Let steak sit at room temperature before cooking to ensure even doneness.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook steak bites in batches to get a proper sear and prevent steaming.
  • Fresh Garlic is Key: Use freshly minced garlic, not powder, for maximum flavor.
  • Balance the Horseradish: Start with less horseradish in the cream and add more to suit your spice preference.
  • Serve Immediately: Serve garlic bread steak bites warm with chilled or room temperature horseradish cream for best texture.
