Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Description
This recipe uses one-inch pieces of steak such as sirloin, tenderloin, ribeye, or tri-tip, seasoned with salt and pepper. The steak bites are cooked in olive oil over medium-high heat in a single layer to ensure an even sear without overcrowding. Each side cooks for about 1 to 2 minutes, depending on desired doneness, allowing a golden crust to form.
Once seared, the heat is lowered and butter with freshly minced garlic is added to the skillet. The butter melts and mingles with the garlic to create a fragrant sauce that coats the steak pieces, enhancing their richness and flavor. The garlic is not overcooked to preserve its pungency.
These hearty steak bites serve well as an appetizer, main dish with sides, or as a protein addition to salads or bowls. The method is straightforward and quick, focusing on the quality of the steak and the garlic butter combination to deliver a satisfying savory bite.
