🥩 Garlic Butter Steak Bites Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs (680g) sirloin steak (or ribeye), cut into 1-inch cubes

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 4 tbsp unsalted butter

• 4 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tsp fresh thyme (or rosemary or parsley), chopped

• Optional: Crushed red pepper flakes or lemon juice for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. Prep the Steak:

   • Pat steak pieces dry with paper towels.

   • Season generously with salt and pepper.

2. Sear the Steak:

   • Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat.

   • Add olive oil. When hot, add steak in a single layer (cook in batches to avoid overcrowding).

   • Sear for about 1–2 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking.

   • Transfer steak bites to a plate and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium.

   • Add butter and let it melt.

   • Stir in minced garlic and thyme. Cook for about 30–60 seconds, until fragrant.

4. Combine:

   • Return steak bites to the pan. Toss to coat in the garlic butter for about 30 seconds.

5. Serve:

   • Garnish with more herbs or a squeeze of lemon if desired.

   • Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted veggies.

🔥 Tips:

• Meat choice: Sirloin is budget-friendly and tender; ribeye gives richer flavor.

• Don’t overcook: Steak bites are best medium-rare to medium.

• Add-ins: Try mushrooms, bell peppers, or a splash of Worcestershire for extra flavor.
