How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Step 1. Prepare the hot skillet. Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat.  I recommend using a large cast iron skillet.  

Step 2. Place the steak cubes in the pan. Add the steak to the skillet.  Season it with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3. Allow to cook. Cook the steak for 2 minutes without flipping it so that they get browned.

Step 4. Stir the steak. Then gently toss the steak and cook it for 1-2 minutes until the steak is cooked through, fork tender and browned. 

• Step 5. Reduce the heat. 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 6. Garnish with parsley. Remove from heat, sprinkle the juicy steaks with parsley, serve warm in a large bowl and enjoy! 

Recipe Tips

• Remove excess moisture from the steak. Pat them dry with a paper towel before cutting into pieces. This will help them to have a nice crust and brown perfectly.
• Room temperature meat. Allow the steak to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking it. It will help the recipe turn out even more tender.
• Make sure the pan is hot. It should be preheated before adding the steak. This will help the steak to cook evenly and have the perfect sear.
• Cook in batches. The steak needs to be cooked in batches so the pan is not overcrowded. You do not want the steak to be steamed and this will occur if overcrowded.
• Allow to rest. The steak bites need to rest after cooking. This will help the meat to stay juicy and tender. This simple step results in perfectly tender steak.

• Mashed potatoes. The steak bites pair nicely with mashed potatoes for a hearty dinner option everyone will enjoy.
