Garlic Butter Steak Bites Quick and Flavorful Treat
Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- to taste salt and black pepper
- optional fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Season the steak cubes generously with salt and black pepper. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes for better cooking.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until melted and bubbling.
- Carefully add the steak cubes to the pan in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear the steak for about 2-3 minutes on one side without moving them to get a nice crust, then flip and sear for another 2-3 minutes until browned. Adjust cooking time slightly based on desired doneness (medium-rare to medium).
- Reduce the heat to medium. Push the steak bites to one side of the pan and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the cleared side. Once melted, add the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Stir the garlic and herbs together, cooking for about a minute until fragrant.
- Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter until fully coated, cooking for an additional minute. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.
- Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the garlic butter steak bites to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
