How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Step 1 – Heat the little oil bottom of the pan over medium-high heat. I recommend using a cast iron skillet.
Step 2 – Add the steak to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the steak for 2 minutes without flipping it so that they get browned. The stir and continue cooking.
Step 3 – Turn the heat down to medium. Add the minced garlic and butter to the skillet. Cook for about 30-60 seconds until the butter is melted and the garlic is aromatic.
Step 4 – Remove from heat, top with parsley, serve warm and enjoy!

Recipe Notes
- Don’t overcrowd the pan – Helps you get that perfect sear and texture. You may need to work in batches.

- Asian Twist – Add a splash of soy sauce and sesame oil for umami flavor.
