• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tbsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp paprika
• 12 oz fresh green beans (trimmed)
• ½ tbsp olive oil

Directions

1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine steak pieces, olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let it sit for 30 minutes.
2. Season & Roast the Veggies: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Place them on a baking sheet and roast for about 25 minutes.
3. Sear the Steak Bites: Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated steak bites for about 5-7 minutes until they reach your desired doneness.

5. Assemble Bowls: Serve the steak bites over roasted potatoes and green beans. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze.

How to Make Garlic Balsamic Steak Bites (Overview)

Making Garlic Balsamic Steak Bites is a breeze! First, you’ll want to marinate the steak. The longer it sits, the better the flavor (but 30 minutes is totally acceptable if you’re in a rush). While your steak is soaking up all that yumminess, prep your veggies and toss them in the oven. Once those potatoes are golden and crispy, it’s time to sear the steak to juicy perfection. Finish it off with a sweet and tangy glaze that’ll drive you wild. Pro tip: Don’t skip toasting the garlic — it makes all the difference!

How to Serve Garlic Balsamic Steak Bites

Serve these beauties hot, with their vibrant colors and enticing aroma filling the air. Imagine a platter filled with golden baby potatoes, perfectly cooked green beans, and glistening steak bites, all drizzled in that rich balsamic glaze. This dish pairs wonderfully with a glass of red wine (or your favorite bubbly). Your guests won’t just be impressed; they’ll be begging for the recipe!

How to Store Garlic Balsamic Steak Bites

Got leftovers? No worries! These steak bites keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. Store them in an airtight container for optimal freshness. When you’re ready to dig in again, simply reheat in a pan over low heat or pop them in the microwave. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months, but the fresh veggies won’t have the same crunch after thawing.

Tips to Make Garlic Balsamic Steak Bites

1. Marinate Longer: If you have the time, let the steak marinate for a few hours or even overnight for deeper flavor.
2. Veggie Swaps: Don’t have green beans? Try broccoli or asparagus — both will work fabulously!
3. Crispy Potatoes: For extra crunch, toss your potatoes in more olive oil before roasting.
4. Adjust Sweetness: If you like it sweeter, add a bit more honey to the glaze.
5. Season Generously: Feel free to experiment with spices, like Italian seasoning or herbs de Provence!

Variation

Want to switch things up? You can easily make this dish vegan by substituting the steak with chickpeas or tofu. Flavor them just like the steak and follow the same cooking method. You can also add a twist with different marinades, like teriyaki or a spicy chili sauce, to give it a whole new vibe.
