Garlic Butter Steak Bites Recipe
Garlic Butter Steak Bites are steak cubes cooked in a mouthwatering garlic butter sauce. Each juicy and tender bite leaves you wanting more!
Servings: 4 people
Equipment
- A large, heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron skillet
- Measuring spoons
- Spatula or wooden spoon
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pounds sirloin steak cubes (1-inch cubes)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ¼ cup butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Sear the steak. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet. Season the steak bites with salt and pepper and add them to the pan. Cook until browned on all sides, stirring occasionally. Transfer the seared steak to a plate and set aside. Do not crowd the pan. Brown the steak in batches if necessary.
- Sauté the garlic. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the pan. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Finish cooking the steak. Stir the seared steak into the garlic butter and cook for 1 minute, spooning the juices in the pan over the steak.
- Serve. Transfer the steak bites to a serving platter, spoon the sauce over the steak, season with additional salt and pepper (if needed), and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
Can I make this ahead of time and freeze it?
You can. Prepare the recipe from start to finish and allow the steak bites to cool. Load the steak (along with the sauce) into an airtight container and store it in the freezer. It will keep for up to 3 months.
When you are ready to enjoy, allow the steak to thaw, transfer it to a baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 350°F for 15 minutes or until warm.
What size skillet did you use?
I used a 12-inch heavy-bottomed skillet. A Dutch oven would also be a great way to go.
