Quick Steps

1️⃣ Season the Steak:
Pat 1½ lbs of cubed steak dry with paper towels. Season with 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp black pepper, and ¼ tsp red pepper flakes.

2️⃣ Sear the Steak:
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add steak bites in a single layer. Sear 1–2 minutes per side until browned (medium-rare, 125–130°F internal temp). Remove to a plate.

3️⃣ Make Garlic Butter Sauce:
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 4 tbsp butter, 1 minced shallot, and 4 minced garlic cloves. Sauté 1 minute until fragrant.

4️⃣ Finish the Bites:
Return steak bites to the pan and toss in the garlic butter to coat. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tbsp chopped parsley.

5️⃣ Serve:
Serve hot with your favorite sides—enjoy the juicy, garlicky perfection! 😍

Tips

👉 Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to avoid overcooking.

👉 Serving: Pair with roasted potatoes, garlic bread, or a fresh salad. Great over mashed potatoes or rice!

👉 Substitutions: Use chicken or shrimp instead of steak. Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra depth.

👉 Doneness Tip: Use a meat thermometer for precision—don’t overcook to keep bites tender and juicy.
