Garlic butter steak bites are a delicious and savory dish that’s perfect for a quick and flavorful meal. Here’s a simple recipe to make garlic butter steak bites:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of steak (sirloin, ribeye, or filet mignon work well)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Steak:
- Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes. Make sure to trim excess fat.
2. Season the Steak:
- Season the steak bites with salt and black pepper. You can use your favorite steak seasoning if you prefer.
3. Sear the Steak:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until it’s smoking hot.
- Add the steak bites to the hot skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to do this in batches.
- Sear the steak bites for about 1-2 minutes on each side to achieve a nice, brown crust. Cook longer for well-done or less for rare, depending on your preference.
4. Cook the Garlic Butter:
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the chopped rosemary, if using, and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
5. Add the Butter:
- Add the unsalted butter to the skillet with the garlic and herbs. Stir and swirl the butter until it’s fully melted and the sauce becomes fragrant and slightly browned.
6. Combine and Serve:
- Return the seared steak bites to the skillet with the garlic butter sauce. Stir to coat the steak bites evenly with the flavorful butter sauce.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the steak bites are heated through.
7. Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish the garlic butter steak bites with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve your garlic butter steak bites hot, either on their own or with your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, rice, or a salad. Enjoy this delicious and easy-to-make meal!
