Steak Bites with Garlic Butter
Description
This recipe features cubed sirloin steak cooked in a hot pan with olive oil to create golden brown edges while keeping the inside tender. After cooking, butter and minced garlic are added and cooked briefly to coat the steak pieces, infusing a rich garlic flavor. Parsley is sprinkled on top to add a fresh herbaceous note. The technique relies on high heat for searing, and even-sized cuts to ensure uniform cooking.
Steak Bites with Garlic Butter can be served on their own as a flavorful snack or appetizer, or added to dishes like salads, rice bowls, or pasta to introduce a juicy, buttery meat component.
The notes suggest using other steak cuts such as tenderloin, rib eye, or strip steak as alternatives. Ensuring the pan is very hot is emphasized to achieve the desired crust. Cutting the beef pieces uniformly helps them cook evenly.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 lbs sirloin steak cut into small cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons garlic minced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon parsley minced
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the steak in the pan in a single layer; you may have to work in batches depending on the size of your pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Repeat with remaining meat if needed.
- Add the butter and garlic to the pan; cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat the meat in the sauce.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Notes
- Use a very hot pan to develop a nice crust on the steak bites.
- Cut the beef into evenly sized cubes to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- If sirloin is unavailable, tenderloin, rib eye, or strip steak can be substituted.
