Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Description
Garlic Butter Steak Bites combine hearty sirloin steak pieces with a savory garlic butter sauce infused with fresh rosemary and a mild kick from red pepper flakes. By searing the steak bites in a very hot cast iron skillet, the outside develops a crisp, caramelized crust while retaining juicy tenderness inside. The butter melting with garlic and Worcestershire sauce adds a depth of flavor that mingles seamlessly with the meat's richness. Once cooked, the steak bites are tossed in the garlic butter and garnished with chopped fresh parsley, lending a subtle freshness to the dish.
These steak bites pair nicely with mashed potatoes or a simple salad, offering a balanced plate of proteins and greens. The bite-size format also makes them convenient for quick dinners or casual gatherings.
Cooking the steak in batches avoids overcrowding and ensures even searing. Adding the garlic butter sauce at the end preserves its bright flavors without burning the garlic. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste for best results.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 lbs sirloin steak cut into bite size pieces - strip loin, strip steak or rib eye also work great
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste, ground
- 2 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 rosemary fresh sprigs
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Place a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the oil.
- Make sure the oil is hot, then add the steak pieces. Season them generously with salt and pepper and let them cook for 2-3 minutes without stirring. This will give them a good sear.
- Flip/stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. If needed, work in batches, but do not overcrowd the steak pieces in the skillet.
- Transfer the steak bites to a plate and cover with foil.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and reduce the heat to medium. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 30 seconds while stirring.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce and stir.
- Discard the rosemary sprigs.
- Pour the garlic butter over the steak bites and toss to combine. Garnish with parsley and serve over mashed potatoes or with a salad.
