Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
For Cooking and Garnish
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the Steak: Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Season evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to enhance flavor and prepare the meat for searing.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering, which ensures a good sear on the steak bites.
- Sear the Steak Bites: Add the steak cubes in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 2–3 minutes on each side until the pieces are nicely browned and cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
- Add Garlic Butter: Reduce heat to medium, add unsalted butter to the skillet, and let it melt. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Coat and Serve: Toss the seared steak bites in the garlic butter sauce ensuring an even coating. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- For best flavor and tenderness, use well-marbled cuts like sirloin or ribeye.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the steak cubes sear properly and don’t steam.
- These steak bites pair wonderfully with mashed potatoes, steamed rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
