Halloween steak bites with blood red chilli jus recipe

Tenderloin steaks ingredients

Olive Oil – it has a lower smoking point than butter keeping the butter from burning.
Salt and pepper – I like Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
Herb Butter – make the one in this recipe using butter, garlic, thyme

Method

STEP 1: Pat steaks dry, Cut into bite size  and season steaks on both sides with salt and pepper. Be generous! They’re thick and need lots of seasoning with herbs . You can use steak seasoning if you’d like, but Kosher salt and pepper really are the BEST.

STEP 3: Add steaks. Cook for 2 minutes on each side spooning butter over steaks while they cook.

STEP 4: Flip steaks bites. Cook for 2 more minutes spooning butter over steaks bites . It would taste nice when medium done.

STEP 6: Rest steaks bites for 5 mins.
