If you’re working with a “budget” piece of meat, prepare it by removing fat and gristle and cutting it into 1-2 inch chunks.

Sprinkle the pieces with a tasty amount of sea salt and freshly cracked peppercorns. Roll them around a bit, so that you the meat is well coated.

Heat a skillet to high heat and melt 2 tbsp of butter. Watch and stir the butter in the pan until it becomes browned. Make note that this will be a touch smoky, so you might want to turn on the fan. It’s OK - it is supposed to be that way. We want the butter brown and the pan nice and hot.

Once the pan is sizzling, add the steak bites and cook for about 45 seconds on one side before flipping and cooking for another 45 seconds on the second side. Reduce the cooking time on the 2nd side if it takes you a good 30 seconds to flip all those little suckers.

Remove immediately from heat and place on a nice serving platter.

Add the remaining 2 tbsp of butter to the drippings in the pan and allow them to melt while being sure to pick up all the pan drippings.

Pour this “sauce” into a nice little bowl for fondue or just dump all the yummy goodness right on top of the steak bites.

Serve with toothpicks to turn the bites into finger food.
