Description
This garlic butter steak bites recipe uses juicy sirloin steak cut into cubes that are pan seared and ready in just 20 minutes. They’re paired with a simple garlic butter sauce!
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak (or ribeye, strip steak, or another tender well-marbled cut)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter (½ stick), divided
- 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Take the steak out of the fridge and let it warm up for about 30 minutes if possible.
- Cut the steak into 1-inch cubes and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add steak in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Cook for about 2 minutes per side for medium doneness. Transfer cooked steak to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add remaining butter and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (do not brown).
- Remove from heat, return steak and juices to the pan, and toss to coat in garlic butter.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Serves 4–6 as an appetizer or 2–4 as a main course.
- Do not overcook the steak or it will become tough.
- A cast iron skillet works best for achieving a good sear.
