  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x
  • Method: Main Course / Appetizer
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until very hot
  2. Add steak cubes in a single layer, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-4 minutes without stirring to develop a crust
  3. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown (work in batches if necessary)
  4. Transfer steak to a plate
  5. Reduce heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet
  6. Once butter melts, add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant
  7. Return steak to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat in the garlic butter sauce
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately

Notes

Use a very hot pan to achieve a nice crust on the meat. Ensure steak pieces are cut into even-sized cubes for uniform cooking. Do not stir the steak immediately upon adding to the pan to allow proper browning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best cut of steak for this recipe?

We recommend using sirloin or ribeye for these GARLIC BUTTER STEAK BITES RECIPE. These cuts are tender, flavorful, and cook quickly in the skillet. Avoid very lean cuts like filet mignon, which can dry out.

Can I make these steak bites ahead of time?

You can prepare the steak and seasoning ahead, but for the best texture, cook them just before serving. Reheating can make the steak bites tough. The garlic butter sauce is best made fresh.

How do I prevent the steak from becoming tough?

Ensure your skillet is very hot before adding the steak to get a good sear. Do not overcrowd the pan, and cook the bites in batches if needed. Most importantly, avoid overcooking; the GARLIC BUTTER STEAK BITES RECIPE is best served medium-rare to medium.
