Steak & Gnocchi Bites

 Ingredients

• 1-1½ lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, new york, or tenderloin)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper 
• 2 lb gnocchi
• Some kind of oil with a high smoke point (avocado oil, vegetable oil - not EVOO)
• 2 tbsp butter
• minced garlic - measure with your heart
• parsley
• shredded parmesan cheese

Steps/Directions

1. Cut steak into bite size pieces. Mix together lemon juice, olive oil, wu-sta-sher sauce, ACV, and spices. Marinate steak in sauce for anywhere between 1-8 hours.
2. Cook gnocchi according to directions on the package.
3. Heat oil in a pan until just smoking. Sear steak bites in batches - don't overcrowd the pan, and don't use too much of the marinating liquid. (They cook really fast, don't leave them unattended.)
4. Once all the meat is seared, add it all back into the pan along with butter. Once butter is melted, add the garlic and saute for 30 sec.
5. Add in gnocchi and saute for 3-5 min or until browned.
6. Serve topped with parsley and shredded parmesan cheese.
