4.9 from 69 reviews

Garlic Butter Steak Bites are tender, juicy pieces of sirloin or ribeye steak seared to perfection and tossed in a savory garlic butter sauce. This quick and flavorful dish is perfect as an appetizer or a main course, garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steak: Cut the sirloin or ribeye into uniform bite-sized pieces and season them generously with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
  2. Melt butter in skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, creating a rich base for cooking the steak.
  3. Sear the steak: Add the steak pieces to the skillet in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice brown crust.
  4. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic into the skillet, cooking for an additional minute until the garlic becomes fragrant and slightly golden without burning.
  5. Finish with butter: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Toss the steak bites and garlic together until everything is evenly coated with the glossy, flavorful butter sauce.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the steak bites to add a fresh herbal note and vibrant color before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Use a high smoke point oil or butter blend if concerned about butter burning.
  • For extra flavor, let the steak bites marinate briefly in minced garlic and herbs before cooking.
  • Serve with crusty bread or a side of mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
  • Ensure the skillet is hot enough to get a good sear and avoid overcrowding to prevent steaming.
