Marinade

• In a bowl add cubed steak bites, salt, parsley, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, worcestershire sauce, and olive oil. Mix to cover steak and cover with plastic wrap.
• Marinate for up to one hour. See note.

Caramelized Onions

• Slice 4 sweet onions and set aside.
• Add butter and olive oil to a heavy bottom skillet and add sliced onions.
• Allow the onions to cook on high for about 3-4 minutes before reducing the heat to medium.
• Stir the onions every 5 minutes until completely caramelized. This can take awhile 30-40 minutes but it’s so very worth the wait.

Steak Bites

• Into a very hot cast iron pan add a teaspoon of kosher salt.  No oil or liquid.
• Add marinated steak bites to pan and cook 3 minutes on each side or until crust forms. Do not move them around the pan.  Simply let them sear. Once both sides have been seared THEN toss around the pan for just a minute to cook all sides. The time depends on the size of your bites.
• Once done remove from heat and add the next batch. Do not crowd your pan or the meat will steam not brown. You want that nice sear on both sides. We like our steak rare, adjust your time for your desired doneness.  It will go under the broiler for just a minute once you have added the toppings.

Optional alternate cooking method:

Broiler method

• Add the bitesized pieces of steak to a baking sheet.
• Place broiler on high and cook steak bites 1-2 minutes on each side, depending on your desired temperature, turn and continue cooking. This method cooks them pretty quickly so make sure you stay with them.
• Once cooked to your preferred temperature remove from oven.

Assembly

• Place all steak bits on a cooking sheet.
• Add a tablespoon of the caramelized onions onto the top of the steak bites.
• Add about a teaspoon or so of the Blue Cheese.
• Place under the broiler just long enough to slightly melt the blue cheese.
• Remove from the cooking sheet onto a serving platter.  Add a cocktail pick to each bite.
• Serve immediately; Enjoy!
