Description
Garlic Butter Steak Bites are tender, flavorful pieces of sirloin steak cooked in a rich garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak (Beef)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick) divided
- 4–5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Take the steak out of the fridge and let it warm up for 30 minutes prior to starting the recipe if you can.
- Cut the steak into 1″ cubes and season generously with salt & pepper.
- Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Let the pan heat up for a few minutes.
- Add the meat in a single layer (don’t crowd it and do two batches). Cook for about 2 minutes then flip and cook for another 2 minutes for the steak to be cooked to medium temperature.
- Repeat with the second batch. Don’t move the steak around the pan… just let it cook undisturbed to get a good sear.
- Once each batch is done, transfer it to a plate. You can always test one piece of steak to get a good idea of timing prior to doing a whole batch.
- Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the remaining butter and garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring almost constantly, for 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is cooked (but don’t let it burn/get too dark).
- Take the pan off the heat and add the steak (and juices from the plate) back and toss with the butter sauce.
- Serve immediately with parsley sprinkled over top.
Notes
- Serves 4-6 as an appetizer or 2-4 as a main course depending on what else it’s served with.
- Do not overcook the steak as it’ll end up tough and leathery.
- I love a good cast iron skillet for cooking steak. My Le Creuset skillet is pictured, and I also love Lodge cast iron.
- You can also find this recipe in the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials hardcover cookbook.
