Festival Classic Lunch: Grilled Garlic Butter Steak Skewers

Allergens

Gluten-free, Dairy (Contains butter)

Ingredients

• 1. 2 lbs beef sirloin, cut into 1
• inch cubes 2. 1/3 cup unsalted butter 3. 4 cloves garlic, minced 4. 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped 5. 1/2 tsp salt 6. 1/4 tsp black pepper 7. 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes 8. Wooden or metal skewer holder (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat a grill to medium high heat or preheat your oven's broiler.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 3 4 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, combine beef cubes, salt, and pepper. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the steak cubes and toss to coat them evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
4. Thread the beef cubes onto skewers, leaving some space between each cube for even cooking.
5. Grill or broil the steak skewers for 8 10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes, until desired doneness is reached. If using a broiler, place skewers on an oven safe rack and use the skewer holder to prevent bending.
6. Remove from heat, let them rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.

Chef’s Insight

The key to perfect, tender grilled steak is letting it rest after cooking. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful bite.

Notes

For a more festive touch, serve with beer or wine and lively festival tunes playing in the background.
