Oven-Baked Beef Bites: A Savory Snack Delight

Ingredients

- 1 pound beef sirloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
2. Marinate Beef: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper. Stir in Worcestershire sauce to complete the marinade.
3. Coat the Beef: Add beef cubes to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the marinade. Let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the marinated beef cubes evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not crowded to allow even cooking.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 15 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through, until the beef bites are browned and cooked to your liking.
6. Rest and Serve: Remove beef bites from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm as a delicious and satisfying savory snack.
