Make tender, flavorful steak bites quickly in a skillet using garlic butter for a rich taste and a perfectly juicy interior.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the steak cubes to the hot skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Work in batches if necessary.
  4. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until browned on the exterior. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the skillet. Let it melt completely.
  6. Add the minced garlic and Italian herbs to the melted butter. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  7. Return the seared steak cubes to the skillet. Toss them gently in the garlic butter sauce for 1 minute to coat and finish cooking to your desired doneness.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
  9. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a medium-rare juicy center, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F before removing from heat.
  • Serve these steak bites over rice, mashed potatoes, or with roasted asparagus.
  • If you want a garlic parmesan steak bites variation, stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese during the last 30 seconds of cooking.
