Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Steak Bites:

  • 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak or ribeye, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Step 1: Prepare the Steak

Cut your steak into small, even cubes. Pat dry with a paper towel — this helps achieve a perfect sear. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

Step 2: Sear the Steak

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan — work in batches if necessary.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Then, return the steak to the pan and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle with fresh thyme or parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve hot with your favorite sides!


Serving Suggestions

  • With Sides: Mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli, or garlic rice.
  • Low-Carb Option: Cauliflower rice or a green salad.
  • As an Appetizer: Serve with toothpicks for easy snacking.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

  1. Use high-quality beef — sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin work best.
  2. Don’t overcook — aim for medium-rare to medium for juicy bites.
  3. Deglaze the pan with a splash of beef broth or white wine for extra flavor.
  4. Serve immediately — the butter sauce thickens as it cools.
