Step 3: Sear the Steak Bites

Work in batches so the pan doesn’t get crowded.

• Add the steak bites in a single layer.
• Let them sear untouched for 1–2 minutes.
• Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until browned on all sides.

Remove the steak from the pan once done. They should be crispy outside and tender inside.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter

Reduce the heat to medium-low.

• Add butter to the same pan.
• Once melted, stir in the minced garlic.
• Cook for 20–30 seconds, just until fragrant (don’t burn the garlic!).

Stir in the fresh parsley and a splash of lemon juice if you like brightness.

Step 5: Coat the Steak Bites

Return the cooked steak to the pan and toss in the garlic butter until each piece is glistening and coated.

Warm for about 1 minute.
Your kitchen will smell incredible.

Serving Ideas

Steak bites are incredibly versatile. Try them with:

• Mashed potatoes or roasted potatoes
• Steamed or sautéed vegetables
• Rice, pasta, or couscous
• Garlic bread
• A fresh green salad

They also work wonderfully as a party appetizer, served with toothpicks.

Tips for the Best Steak Bites

• Don’t overcook: They cook fast—stop early for a juicy bite.
• Dry the steak well: Moisture prevents browning.
• Use real butter: It adds richness and flavor olive oil can’t replace.
• High heat is key: Searing locks in flavor and juices.
