Black garlic is not merely a variety of garlic; it is a product of fermentation, a process that has been celebrated in various cultures for centuries. Originating in Korea, this unique ingredient is made by heating whole bulbs of garlic at a controlled temperature and humidity for several weeks. This process transforms the cloves into a dark, soft, and sweet product that boasts a complex flavor profile. The fermentation not only alters the taste but also significantly enhances the nutritional value of garlic, making it a powerhouse of antioxidants.

Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

4 cloves black garlic, minced

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Steak: Pat the sirloin cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. This helps to develop a rich crust when searing.

    Make the Black Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the minced black garlic, softened butter, and thyme. Once well combined, refrigerate until ready to use, allowing the flavors to meld.

      Sear the Steak Bites: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the steak cubes in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches) and sear for about 2-3 minutes without moving them to achieve a nice crust.

        Flip and Add Flavor: Turn the steak bites to sear the opposite side for another 2-3 minutes. Once browned, reduce the heat to medium and add the Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Toss for about 1 minute to coat the steak bites in flavor.

          Finish with Black Garlic Butter: Remove the skillet from heat and add the black garlic butter to the pan. Toss the steak bites until they are evenly coated in the melted butter.

            Serve: Transfer the steak bites to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color, and serve immediately while still warm.
