Steak Bites with Garlic Butter is one of those recipes that feels fancy but is surprisingly simple to make. Tender pieces of steak are quickly seared until golden on the outside, then tossed in a rich garlic butter sauce that coats every bite with bold, savory flavor. This dish is perfect as a main course, an appetizer, or even a protein-packed topping for rice, mashed potatoes, or vegetables.
Below is a clear, step-by-step guide to making perfect steak bites every time.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1½ pounds steak (sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin work best)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3–4 tablespoons butter
- 4–5 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Steak
Start by patting the steak dry with paper towels. This is important because dry meat sears better and creates a nice crust. Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes, about 1 to 1½ inches each. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Let the steak sit at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
Place a large skillet (preferably cast iron or heavy-bottomed) over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat until it shimmers. A hot pan is key for getting a beautiful sear on the steak bites.
