Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Ingredients

Steak: Grab a tender cut of steak that cooks quickly and evenly. Ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon are all excellent choices. Ribeye offers rich marbling and robust flavor, while sirloin is leaner and more budget-friendly but still tender. Beef tenderloin can also be used for melt-in-your-mouth tenderness with a mild flavor.

Garlic Herb Butter Seasoning: A simple compound butter mixture of butter, shallots, fresh garlic, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and plenty of fresh herbs is what makes these steak bites so incredibly flavorful. I’m using parsley today, but you can also use fresh rosemary or thyme.

Instructions

Season the steak. Pat the cubed steak dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and create a beautiful sear. Then, season them with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

Sear the steak. Once your cast iron pan is hot, add the oil. After the oil starts shimmering, add the steak bites in a single layer. Sear for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Then remove the steak to a plate.

Steak doneness tip: The steak bites cook pretty quickly and will become medium-rare to medium (between 125°F to 130°F) in just a couple of minutes. If you like your steak well done, you can cook them for a minute or two longer on each side. Just keep an eye on them so they don’t get tough.

Make the garlic butter sauce. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the butter, shallot, and garlic, and saute for 1 minute.

Finish the steak bites. Add the steak bites back to the pan and stir with the garlic butter sauce to coat. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
