Steak Bites with Garlic Butter

Step 3: Sear the Steak Bites

Add the steak bites to the hot skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed. Let the steak cook undisturbed for about 2 minutes so it can develop a golden-brown crust.

Flip the pieces and cook for another 1–2 minutes, depending on how you like your steak (medium-rare is ideal for tenderness). Once seared, transfer the steak bites to a plate and set aside.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Be careful not to burn the garlic—it should be fragrant, not browned.

If using herbs like thyme or rosemary, add them now to infuse the butter with extra flavor.

Step 5: Combine Steak and Sauce

Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them gently in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 30–60 seconds, just long enough to coat the steak and warm it through.

Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt or pepper if needed.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the steak bites with chopped parsley for a fresh finish. Serve immediately while hot and juicy.
