Steak Bites with Garlic Butter Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 pound sirloin steak (or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Steak:
- Pat the steak bites dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the Steak:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; you may need to do this in batches.
- Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is about 130°F/54°C).
3. Make the Garlic Butter:
- Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter.
- Once melted, add the minced garlic and thyme. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Combine:
- Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter until well coated. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
5. Serve:
- Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Enjoy!
These steak bites are savory, buttery, and bursting with flavor. They’re perfect for a quick dinner or as a delicious appetizer at your next gathering!
