how to make Ultimate Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Sirloin or Ribeye Steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Directions

1. Cut the steak into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
2. Mince the garlic and chop the parsley. Set aside.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Once the pan is smoking hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
4. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F.
5. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside. Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet.
6. Once melted, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
7. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute.
8. Add the steak bites back to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter sauce.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

how to serve Ultimate Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Serve these steak bites straight from the skillet for the best flavor and warmth. They pair nicely with a side of mashed potatoes, rice, or fresh vegetables. You can also serve them as an appetizer with toothpicks or over a bed of greens for a hearty salad.

how to store Ultimate Garlic Butter Steak Bites

To store any leftovers, let the steak bites cool completely. Place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last for about 3-4 days. To reheat, warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.

tips to make Ultimate Garlic Butter Steak Bites

• Make sure your skillet is very hot before adding the steak. This will give you a nice sear.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet. Cook in batches if needed, so the meat can brown properly.
• Adjust the seasoning and spices according to your preference, especially if you like more garlic or heat.

variation

For a different flavor, you can add herbs like thyme or rosemary to the butter during cooking. You can also use different types of steak, like filet mignon or flank steak, for a unique taste.

FAQs

Can I use a different cut of steak?

How do I know when the steak bites are done?
For medium-rare, check for an internal temperature of 130-135°F. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the ingredients ahead of time. Just store them separately and cook when you’re ready to eat.
