Enhanced with fresh parsley and simple seasonings, these steak bites deliver bold, mouthwatering flavor with minimal ingredients, suitable for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak Bites

  • 1 lb steak cubes (sirloin or ribeye), about 1 to 1.5 inches
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1–2 tbsp olive oil

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3–4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Steak: Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes about 1 to 1.5 inches. Pat dry with paper towels to ensure a better sear. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  2. Sear the Steak Bites: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once shimmering, add steak cubes in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: Lower heat to medium, add unsalted butter to the skillet, then stir in minced garlic. Cook until fragrant and golden, about 1 to 2 minutes, careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Combine and Finish: Return the seared steak cubes to the skillet and toss gently in the garlic butter sauce. Heat through for about 1 minute. Stir in chopped fresh parsley, then remove from heat and serve.

Notes

  • Use room temperature steak to ensure even cooking and prevent toughness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; sear steak bites in batches if needed for a perfect crust.
  • Use fresh garlic, not pre-minced, for the best flavor and aroma.
  • Add butter after steak searing to prevent burning the garlic and butter.
  • Let the steak bites rest for a couple of minutes before serving to redistribute juices.
