Garlic Bread with Steak Bites

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2

   Cut the baguette in half lengthwise, then crosswise, creating four pieces.

3. 3

   Mince the garlic cloves finely.

4. 4

   In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and add half of the minced garlic to infuse the butter for about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.

5. 5

   Brush the garlic butter generously over the cut sides of the baguette.

6. 6

   Place the buttered baguette on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.

7. 7

   While the bread is in the oven, cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized cubes.

8. 8

   Season the steak bites with salt and black pepper.

9. 9

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak bites, searing them on all sides until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness, about 2-4 minutes for medium-rare.

10. 10

    In the last minute of cooking, add the remaining minced garlic to the skillet with the steak bites and stir to combine.

11. 11

    Remove the steak bites from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.

12. 12

    Take the toasted garlic bread out of the oven and arrange the steak bites on top of the bread.

13. 13

    Garnish with chopped parsley.

14. 14

    Serve immediately while the steak bites are still warm and the garlic bread is crispy.
