🥩Steak Bites Recipe

If you’re craving steakhouse flavor but don’t want to fuss with a whole steak, these steak bites are the answer. Seared to perfection in a hot skillet, tossed in garlic butter, and ready in under 20 minutes — they’re tender, flavorful, and absolutely addictive.

🛒 What You’ll Need

Steak:

• 1 ½ lbs sirloin steak (or ribeye, strip steak)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp smoked paprika

Garlic Butter Sauce:

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)

👩‍🍳 Pro Tips

1. Cut steak into even cubes so they cook uniformly.
2. Pat steak dry before searing for maximum browning.
3. Cook in batches — overcrowding makes the steak steam instead of sear.
4. Use a cast iron skillet for the best crust.
5. Add a squeeze of lemon for brightness at the end.

🧰 Tools You’ll Need

• Cast iron skillet (or heavy-bottomed pan)
• Chef’s knife & cutting board
• Wooden spoon or tongs
• Mixing bowls

🔄 Substitutions & Variations

• Swap parsley with rosemary or thyme for a different herb flavor.
• Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
• Serve with roasted potatoes, rice, or over salad.
• Use ghee instead of butter for a nutty flavor.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Steak

Cut steak into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels. Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

Step 2: Sear the Steak Bites

Heat skillet over high heat until very hot. Add steak cubes in a single layer. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until browned and medium-rare. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: Make Garlic Butter

Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

Step 4: Toss & Serve

Return steak bites to the skillet, tossing to coat in garlic butter. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot.

🧊 Leftovers & Storage

• Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a hot skillet for best texture (avoid microwave if possible).
• Not freezer-friendly (steak dries out).

💬 Final Thoughts

These Garlic Butter Steak Bites are pure comfort in a skillet — juicy, flavorful, and easy enough for a weeknight but fancy enough for guests. Serve them with roasted veggies, mashed potatoes, or even toothpicks for a party appetizer. 🥩✨
