Exact Ingredients (+ Possible Substitutes)

Here’s what you’ll need to make these tasty garlic butter steak bites:

• 1 pound steak (sirloin or ribeye work great)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: red pepper flakes, parsley

Don’t have these exact items? No worries! You can swap things out.

Try using ghee instead of butter for a dairy-free option. Coconut oil works too if you’re out of olive oil.

For the steak, any tender cut will do. Tenderloin or New York strip are good choices.

If fresh garlic isn’t available, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder can work in a pinch.

Want to add more flavor? Toss in some dried herbs like thyme or rosemary. A splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce can also give your steak bites a flavor boost.

Remember, cooking is all about making it work for you. Feel free to play around with the ingredients to suit your taste!

Instructions

Cut your steak into 1-inch cubes. Season them with salt and pepper.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add some oil.

Place the steak cubes in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Lower the heat to medium. Add butter to the pan and let it melt.

Toss in minced garlic. Cook for about 45 seconds until it smells good.

Put the steak bites back in the skillet. Stir them around to coat with the garlic butter.

Sprinkle some fresh parsley over the top if you like.

Serve your garlic butter steak bites hot. They’re great on their own or with a side of veggies.

Remember to use tongs or a spatula when handling the meat. Be careful not to overcook the steak – you want it juicy!

Tips, Tricks & Storing

For the tastiest steak bites, choose a cut with good marbling like ribeye or sirloin. Cut the meat into equal-sized chunks so they cook evenly.

Let the steak sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.

Pat the meat dry with paper towels before seasoning. This allows for a better sear.

Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking. Work in batches if needed to get a nice crust on each piece.

Use a cast iron skillet if you have one. It holds heat well and gives a great sear.

For extra flavor, add some fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the garlic butter.

To store leftovers, put them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep for 3-4 days.

You can reheat the steak bites in a skillet over medium heat. Add a splash of water to help keep them moist.

For a quick meal prep option, freeze cooked steak bites for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.
