The buttery, velvety sauce coats every piece nicely, and the vermouth's herbal richness pairs well with the savory Worcestershire. Serve the steak bites as an appetizer with toothpicks, or enjoy over mashed potatoes or polenta. After you've finished sautéing all the cubed steak, you'll use that same pan with the residual steak juices to make the easy, flavor-forward sauce. The garlic gets added to the pan first — be sure to keep a watchful eye here as you cook it only to golden brown, about 30 seconds. Garlic burns easily, especially when finely chopped, so have the vermouth ready to pour on top as soon as the garlic is done. Ingredients 2 pounds beef strip steak (1-inch thick), cut into 1-inch pieces 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 5 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped (3 tablespoons) 1/3 cup dry vermouth 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley Directions Gather ingredients.
