Garlic Butter Steak Bites
These Garlic Butter Steak Bites are a quick, skillet cooked dinner made with tender sirloin, plenty of garlic, and rich butter that coats every bite.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Season the cubed sirloin steak evenly with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat until hot.
- Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and let it melt. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook the steak bites for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, just until fragrant.
- Remove the skillet from heat, return the steak bites to the pan, and toss to coat evenly in the garlic butter sauce.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a Hot Skillet: Make sure the pan is fully heated before adding the steak so the bites sear quickly and develop a golden crust.
- Do Not Overcrowd the Pan: Cook the steak in batches if needed. Overcrowding causes the steak to steam instead of sear.
- Remove Steak Before Adding Garlic: Taking the steak out before adding the remaining butter and garlic prevents the garlic from burning and keeps the flavor clean.
- Cook to Your Preference: Sirloin cooks quickly, so keep an eye on doneness and remove the steak as soon as it reaches your desired temperature.
- Serve Immediately: Steak bites are best enjoyed right away while the butter sauce is warm and the steak is tender.
