Ingredients
UnitsScale
2cups rolled oats
1/3cup honey
1/4cup brown sugar
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2lb steak (e.g., sirloin or ribeye), cubed
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 tsp ground cumin (optional)
1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
1/4cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., almonds or pecans)
Flaky sea salt, for topping
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
Toss cubed steak with olive oil, salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder if using.
Sear steak cubes until medium-rare to medium, then remove and let rest. Chop into bite-sized pieces.
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In the same skillet or a new pan, melt butter with honey and brown sugar until dissolved.
Stir in rolled oats until well coated.
Spread the oat mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, stirring halfway through. Let cool slightly.
Scatter steak bits and optional nuts over the warm oat base and gently press in.
Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Refrigerate for 30–45 minutes until firm.
Break or slice into bark pieces and serve or store in the refrigerator.
Notes
Ensure steak is cooked to preferred doneness before adding.
Cool oat base slightly before adding toppings to maintain chewiness.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
Refrigerate bark to maintain firmness; bring to room temp before serving.
Customize with nuts, seeds, or spices to suit your taste.
