Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 pound steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and allow it to get hot, preparing for searing the steak bites.
- Season and add steak bites: Add the bite-sized steak pieces to the hot skillet and season them evenly with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
- Brown the steak: Cook the steak bites for about 2-3 minutes on each side, allowing them to develop a rich, brown crust while remaining juicy inside.
- Add butter and garlic: Reduce the heat to medium, then add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet, letting the butter melt and the garlic infuse the dish.
- Coat steak bites in garlic butter: Stir the steak bites gently to coat them thoroughly in the garlic-infused melted butter, ensuring full flavor coverage.
- Finish cooking: Continue cooking for an additional minute to let the flavors meld and the steak bites absorb the garlic butter sauce.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the steak bites for a fresh, herbal note, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- Use a high-quality steak such as sirloin or ribeye for best flavor and tenderness.
- Make sure the skillet is hot before adding steak to achieve a good sear.
- Adjust garlic amount based on personal taste preference.
- This recipe is great as an appetizer or served with sides like mashed potatoes or a fresh salad for a full meal.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with olive oil or a vegan butter alternative.
