Garlic Butter Steak Bites are tender, flavorful cubes of sirloin or ribeye steak, quickly seared to perfection in a hot skillet and coated in a rich garlic butter and soy sauce mixture.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season the Steak: Liberally season the steak cubes with salt and pepper to ensure each bite is full of flavor.
  2. Heat the Oil: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil; heat until it is hot and shimmering, which will help sear the steak properly.
  3. Sear the Steak: In batches, add the steak cubes to the hot skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned on all sides, giving the steak a delicious crust without overcrowding the pan.
  4. Add Garlic and Butter: Lower the heat to medium, then add the minced garlic and butter to the skillet, stirring constantly until the butter melts and the garlic becomes fragrant, infusing the steak with rich flavor.
  5. Incorporate Soy Sauce: Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and cook for an additional minute, tossing the steak bites to evenly coat them in the flavorful sauce.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the steak bites from the heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use a high-quality sirloin or ribeye steak for tenderness and flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing to ensure proper browning.
  • The soy sauce adds umami and saltiness; adjust salt accordingly.
  • Pair these steak bites with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
