- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter - 5 cloves garlic, minced - 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried) - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried) - Salt and pepper to taste - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) - Lemon wedges (for serving) When I make garlic butter steak bites, I love using fresh ingredients. The sirloin steak is key. It stays juicy and tender. For the butter, I prefer unsalted. This way, I control the salt. The minced garlic adds great flavor. Fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme elevate the dish. They bring out the steak's natural taste. If you don't have fresh herbs, dried ones work too. Just remember to use less. The olive oil is essential for cooking. It helps to sear the steak perfectly. The fresh parsley makes a lovely garnish. It adds a pop of color to the plate. Finally, serving lemon wedges gives a nice zing. The acidity cuts through the richness of the butter. This balance makes every bite enjoyable. For the full recipe, check the details above. First, you want to pat the steak cubes dry. This step helps achieve a great crust when cooking. Use paper towels to soak up any moisture. Next, season the steak cubes with salt and pepper. This simple seasoning enhances the meat's natural flavor. Start by heating your skillet. Add one tablespoon of olive oil and let it get hot. The oil should shimmer, showing it is ready. Cook the steak bites in batches. Place them in a single layer to avoid steaming. Sear for 2-3 minutes before flipping. Cook for another 2 minutes to reach medium-rare. Adjust the time for your preferred doneness. Once cooked, set the steak bites aside on a plate. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. After that, toss the steak bites in the garlic butter mixture. Coat them well for a delicious finish. Enjoy your Garlic Butter Steak Bites! For the complete preparation process, check the Full Recipe. To get steak bites just right, timing is key. Here are some tips for cooking: - Medium-Rare: Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. - Medium: Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. - Well-Done: Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet. If you add too many steak bites at once, they will steam instead of sear. This will ruin that nice crust you want. Cook them in batches for the best result. To make your steak bites even tastier, try adding different herbs. Here are some great options: - Fresh basil - Oregano - A pinch of smoked paprika Be careful with the garlic. It burns easily. When you add it to the melted butter, keep an eye on it. Cook for just 1-2 minutes until fragrant. This adds a rich, savory flavor without the bitter taste of burnt garlic. How you serve your steak bites can impress your guests. Here are some ideas for stylish plating: - Use a large white plate for contrast. - Stack the steak bites for height. - Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top for color. For side dishes, consider these: - Creamy mashed potatoes - Roasted vegetables - A fresh green salad These sides balance the richness of the steak bites. They also add more color to your plate.

These cuts add rich flavor and tenderness. If you want to explore beyond beef, consider pork tenderloin. Chicken breast also works well. Just cut it into bite-sized pieces. Each meat brings its own taste and texture, making this dish versatile. To make your steak bites even better, add extra ingredients. Sautéed mushrooms add earthiness. Bell peppers bring a sweet crunch. Both pair well with garlic butter. You can also marinate the meat. Use soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or balsamic vinegar for a twist. Marinades add depth and can change the vibe of the dish. You can modify this recipe to fit your diet. For low-carb eaters, skip the bread and serve with salad. If you need gluten-free options, check sauces carefully. Many brands offer gluten-free soy sauce. For a vegan twist, use plant-based proteins like tempeh or mushrooms. The garlic butter can be replaced with vegan butter for a similar taste. To keep your garlic butter steak bites fresh, store them right after cooling. Place them in an airtight container.

Ingredients
  

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Start by patting the steak cubes dry with paper towels, then season them generously with salt and pepper.

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

      Carefully add the steak bites to the hot skillet in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding).

        Sear the steak on one side for about 2-3 minutes until a nice crust forms. Flip the steak bites and cook for an additional 2 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired doneness.

          Once cooked, remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

            In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but don’t let the garlic burn.

              Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter mixture until well coated.

                Remove from heat, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

                  Serve the steak bites warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
