How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites:
Step 1. Prepare the hot skillet. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. I recommend using a large cast iron skillet.
Step 2. Place the steak bites in the pan. Add the steak to the skillet. Season it with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3. Allow to cook. Cook the steak for 2 minutes without flipping it so that they get browned.
Step 4. Stir the steak. Then gently toss the steak and cook it for 2-3 more minutes until the steak is cooked through and browned.
- Step 5. Reduce the heat. Turn the heat down to medium. Add the minced garlic and butter to the skillet. Cook for about 30-60 seconds until the butter is melted and the garlic is aromatic.
- Step 6. Garnish with parsley. Remove from heat, top with parsley, serve warm and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Remove excess moisture from the steak. Pat them dry with a paper towel before cutting into pieces. This will help them to have a nice crust and brown perfectly.
- Room temperature meat. Allow the steak to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking it. It will help the recipe turn out even more tender.
- Make sure the pan is hot. It should be preheated before adding the steak. This will help the steak to cook evenly and have the perfect sear.
- Cook in batches. The steak needs to be cooked in batches so the pan is not overcrowded. You do not want the steak to be steamed and this will occur if overcrowded.
- Allow to rest. The steak bites need to rest after cooking. This will help the meat to stay juicy and tender. This simple step results in perfectly tender steak.
Serving Recommendations
- Mashed potatoes. The steak bites pair nicely with mashed potatoes for a hearty dinner option everyone will enjoy.
- Zucchini Noodles. Enjoy a low carb option by serving this dish with zucchini noodles.
- Oven Roasted Brussel Sprouts Recipe. The texture of roasted brussel sprouts is so delicious.
Steak is a versatile dish that easily pairs well with many dishes. You can easily adapt this for family dinners or serve alone as an appetizer at parties.
Storage Suggestions
Store leftover steak bites inside an airtight container. Place in the fridge up to 3 days. When ready to eat, reheat in the microwave.
You can also reheat on the stove using low heat. Do not use medium-high heat when reheating.
Steak Tips can be frozen up to 3 months as well. Allow to cool completely and place inside a freezer bag or container. When ready to serve, thaw overnight and then reheat as normal.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Steak bites are typically made from Sirloin Steak with a blend of butter, herbs and seasoning.
Butter adds richness to the steak and also helps to make it more tender.
Overcooking the meat can make the steak bites tough. They do not take long to cook at all and should be watched carefully to prevent over cooking.
We prefer to use unsalted butter as some cuts of meat are already salty. Using unsalted butter allows you to control the salt content and add additional salt later if needed.
