How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Ingredients:

  • ½ tablespoon avocado oil
  • 2 pounds steak, cut into small bite-sized pieces
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
  • 6 cloves minced garlic
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • Green onion, for garnish

Directions:

  1. Begin by seasoning the steak bites with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, stirring until the pieces are well coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil to the hot skillet. Once hot, lay the steak in a single layer.
  3. Cook the steak bites for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are beautifully browned. You might need to work in batches if your skillet isn’t big enough.
  4. After browning the steak, take it out of the pan. Drain any excess liquid, then add the butter or ghee to the same skillet.
  5. Immediately add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, letting those rich garlic flavors infuse the oil.
  6. Return the steak to the pan and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat each piece in the luscious garlic butter sauce.
  7. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve hot, garnished with green onion.

Serving Up These Flavorful Bites

Serve your Garlic Butter Steak Bites as a main dish alongside a fresh salad or a hearty side of roasted vegetables. They can also be fantastic served over rice or mashed potatoes, allowing the rich garlic sauce to drench each bite.

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have any leftovers (though I doubt you will), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet to preserve that juicy goodness.

Tips for Perfect Steak Bites

  • Use high-quality cuts of steak like sirloin or ribeye for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan while searing; the steak should make contact with the skillet to achieve that golden-brown crust.
  • Experiment with herbs! Try adding thyme or rosemary for an extra layer of flavor.

Variations to Try

Feel free to swap out the parsley for fresh cilantro or basil if you want a different taste profile. You can also try different oils and butters, like garlic-infused oil for an extra punch.
