Steak Bites

Grilled Onions

Sides (choose any two)

Method

Preparation of Steak Bites

  1. 1

    Marinate the Steak

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Beef

    Cut the wet-aged beef tenderloin into 1-inch medallions. Place the medallions in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Cooking Directions

  1. 3

    Grill the Steak Bites

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the medallions for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Grilled Onions

    While the steak is grilling, slice the yellow onion into rings. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sliced onions. Season with salt and black pepper. Sauté the onions until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

  1. 5

    Serve

    Once the steak bites and grilled onions are ready, plate the steak bites alongside the grilled onions. Choose any two sides from the options provided and serve.
