Oh yes 🥩🔥 — Steak Bites are tender, seared chunks of beef with a garlic-butter punch. Perfect for a quick dinner, appetizer, or even a breakfast hash. Here’s a foolproof recipe:
Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Ingredients (serves 2–4)
- 1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or strip), cut into 1–2 inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley or thyme for garnish
Instructions
1. Prep Steak
- Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels (dry = better sear).
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Sear Steak
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
- Add steak cubes in a single layer (don’t crowd the pan).
- Sear 2–3 minutes per side until a brown crust forms. Remove steak and set aside.
3. Garlic Butter
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Add butter and garlic to the pan, cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
- Return steak to skillet and toss in garlic butter to coat.
4. Serve
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley or thyme.
- Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or over salad.
Pro Tips
- High heat = caramelized crust. Don’t overcrowd the pan; do batches if needed.
- Rest the steak 2–3 min before serving for juicier bites.
- Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce to the butter for extra umami.
- Optional: toss in onions or mushrooms in step 3 for a loaded skillet version.
I can also give a one-pan creamy mushroom steak bites version, a spicy Cajun steak bites version, or a garlic-parmesan butter steak bites twist if you want it elevated.
