Here’s a simple, flavorful recipe for Garlic Butter Steak Bites—juicy, tender, and perfect for dinner or snacking 🥩🧈
Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Ingredients (serves 2–3)
- 1 lb (450 g) steak (sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin), cut into 1–2 inch cubes
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional, enhances flavor)
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- 3–4 tbsp butter
- 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
- Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prep the steak
- Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels (helps them sear).
- Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Sear the steak
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until shimmering.
- Add steak bites in a single layer (don’t overcrowd; cook in batches if needed).
- Sear 2–3 minutes per side for medium-rare, longer for desired doneness.
- Add garlic butter
- Reduce heat to medium.
- Add butter, minced garlic, and herbs.
- Spoon melted garlic butter over the steak for 1–2 minutes, coating each piece.
- Serve
- Garnish with chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately with mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, or a side salad.
Pro Tips
- Dry steak well → better crust.
- Don’t move the steak too much while searing.
- Garlic burns fast → add after initial sear and keep heat medium.
- For extra flavor, deglaze pan with a splash of beef broth or white wine after cooking.
If you want, I can give a one-pan skillet version with veggies or an air fryer version that’s super quick and just as flavorful.
