Remember to let your steak come to room temperature before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly. Now you’re all set to make these yummy steak bites!
Instructions
Start by cutting your steak into bite-sized pieces. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the steak bites and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Make sure they’re nicely browned.
Lower the heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat the steak bites in the garlic butter sauce.
Remove the pan from heat. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if you like. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve your garlic butter steak bites right away. They’re great on their own or with a side of veggies. You can also use toothpicks to serve them as appetizers at parties.
Remember, don’t overcook the steak. You want it juicy and tender. If you prefer your steak more well-done, cook it a bit longer. Enjoy your quick and tasty meal!
Tips, Tricks & Storing
Pat your steak dry before cutting it into cubes. This helps get a nice sear on the outside.
Season the meat well with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy – steak needs plenty of seasoning for the best flavor.
Use a very hot pan to get a good crust on the steak bites. Wait until you see wisps of smoke before adding the meat.
Cook the steak in batches if needed. Overcrowding the pan will steam the meat instead of searing it.
For extra flavor, try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the garlic butter sauce.
Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking. This helps keep it juicy and tender.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
You can freeze cooked steak bites for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Try serving your steak bites over mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the yummy garlic butter sauce.
