Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for garlic butter steak bites:
### Garlic Butter Steak Bites
#### Ingredients:
– 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 3 tbsp unsalted butter
– 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
#### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Steak:**
– Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
2. **Sear the Steak:**
– Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steak cubes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
– Sear the steak cubes for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for a nice sear with a pink center.
3. **Make the Garlic Butter:**
– Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
– In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not burned.
– Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt, stirring to combine with the garlic.
4. **Combine and Serve:**
– Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter until well-coated.
– Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
5. **Garnish and Serve:**
– Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
– Serve immediately, and enjoy!
These garlic butter steak bites are perfect as an appetizer, main dish, or even a hearty addition to salads.
