Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Garlic butter steak bites are a sizzling, restaurant-quality dish made with seared steak cubes swimming in a luscious garlic butter sauce. It's a nostalgic classic, perfect for cozy dinners or entertaining. Quick, flexible, and full of rich, savory flavor.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and place them in a mixing bowl. Toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
- Add the steak cubes in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Sear for 2 to 3 minutes on the first side until golden brown and crusty. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes for medium doneness.
- Once all steak bites are cooked, return them to the skillet and lower the heat to medium.
- Add butter, garlic, herbs, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir constantly as the butter melts and the garlic becomes fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter mixture until fully coated. Remove from heat.
- Garnish with extra parsley if desired and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
