Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make garlic butter steak bites15:

• 1 pound steak, cut into bite-sized pieces (sirloin, tenderloin, rib eye, or New York strip steak are good choices)17
• ½ teaspoon salt1
• ½ teaspoon pepper1
• 2 tablespoons butter1
• 3 cloves garlic, minced1
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)57
• Fresh parsley, minced (for garnish)15

Instructions

Follow these steps to make delicious garlic butter steak bites1:

Step 1: Season the Steak

• Slice the steak into bite-sized pieces and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season the pieces with salt and pepper1.

Step 2: Sear the Steak

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted and hot, add the minced garlic and stir until fragrant1.
• Increase the heat to high before adding the steak bites in a single layer in the skillet. Sear on all sides until browned1. Avoid crowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary to ensure the steak sears instead of steams7.

Step 3: Rest and Serve

• Transfer the steak bites to a cutting board and let them rest for a few minutes. Move them to a serving plate, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately1.

Pro Tip: For the best sear, ensure the pan is super hot before adding the steak7. A cast iron skillet works great for this7.

Serving Suggestions

Garlic butter steak bites can be served with various sides. Potatoes and starchy dishes make excellent additions1. Consider serving them with mashed potatoes or air-fried baked potatoes7.

Recipe Variations

• Spicy: Add red pepper flakes when melting the butter for a spicy kick9.
• Mustard Dipping Sauce: Prepare a creamy mustard dipping sauce by combining sour cream, whole grain mustard, hot sauce, grated garlic, salt, and pepper7.
