Garlic Butter Steak Bites are a quick and delicious way to enjoy steak with minimal effort. They typically involve bite-sized pieces of steak seared to perfection and then tossed in a flavorful garlic butter sauce. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:
Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Ingredients:
- 1.5 lbs steak (such as sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin), cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Season the Steak: Pat the steak pieces dry with a paper towel and season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it’s hot and shimmering.
- Cook the Steak: Add the steak pieces to the skillet in a single layer (do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan). Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Combine and Serve: Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, making sure the steak bites are well-coated and heated through.
- Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the steak bites before serving.
