Brown Sugar Bourbon Steak Bites

For the times that bottle of E&J in the back of the refrigerator beckons to make a certified snack.

Brown Sugar Bourbon Steak Bites

Whisk 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar and 2 tablespoons bourbon together in a small bowl. Season 2 pounds thick-cut New York strip steaks cut into 1-inch cubes with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steak cubes and sear until browned, flipping halfway through, 6 to 8 minutes total. Add brown sugar and bourbon mixture and cook 1 minute more. Remove from heat and garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves.
