Description
A quick and delicious recipe for garlic butter steak bites, perfect for a meal or appetizer!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) Sirloin Steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Toss to ensure each piece is well coated.
- Sear the Steak: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak cubes in a single layer. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until nicely browned and cooked to your preferred doneness. (Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.) Remove the steak bites and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Allow it to melt. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, taking care not to burn the garlic.
- Combine and Serve: Return the steak bites to the skillet. Toss them in the garlic butter sauce for about 1 minute so they are well coated. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Choosing the Right Steak: Sirloin is recommended for its tenderness and flavor. However, ribeye or tenderloin can also be used.
- Heat Management: Ensure the pan is hot before adding the steak bites to achieve a good sear. This will lock in the juices and flavor.
- Doneness: For medium-rare steak, aim for 130°F to 135°F; adjust cook time if you prefer more or less done.
- Adding Spice: For an extra kick, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes into the garlic butter.
