How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps for steak bites that will leave everyone asking for seconds.

1. Start by seasoning the steak bites generously with salt and pepper.
2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
3. Add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remember, do not overcrowd the skillet; it’s better to cook in batches if necessary.
4. Once cooked, remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside.

6. Return the steak bites to the skillet, sprinkle in the chopped rosemary, and toss everything together to coat the steak in that glorious garlic butter sauce.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious creation!

Substitutions & Additions

Feel free to get creative with this recipe! Here are some fun options:

• Swap out the sirloin for tenderloin or ribeye if you prefer a different cut of meat.
• Add a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce for an extra depth of flavor.
• For a kick, toss in some red pepper flakes while sautéing the garlic.
• Try adding other herbs like thyme or oregano for a different twist.

Tips for Success

To make sure your steak bites turn out perfectly, keep these tips in mind:

• Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure a good sear on the steak. Cooking in batches is key.
• Let the steak rest for a couple of minutes before serving to keep it juicy.
• If you’re prepping for a party, you can cook the steak bites ahead of time and reheat them in the garlic butter sauce just before serving.

How to Store Garlic Butter Steak Bites

These steak bites are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a little extra butter to bring back that delicious flavor.
