Turn the heat off and allow the skillet to slightly cool for a minute.
Make the sauce: On low heat add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt. Once melted add the minced garlic and cook for 45 seconds or until fragrant. Add steak bites back to the skillet and str to combine with the garlic butter sauce. Top with fresh parsley, serve & enjoy!
Tips for the Best Garlic Butter Steak Bites
- Choose the Right Cut: Use a tender cut of steak such as top sirloin steak, New York strip steak, ribeye steak, filet mignon or tenderloin for the best results. Flank steak is also a great option that is more economical versus the expensive cuts.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Cook the steak bites in batches if necessary to ensure you get a nice golden brown sear on each piece.
- Adjust Garlic to Taste: If you love garlic, feel free to add for an extra punch of flavor, or use fresh garlic for a stronger garlicky taste.
- Serve Immediately: This delicious recipe is best enjoyed hot and fresh.
- Use a Hot Skillet: A large cast iron skillet is perfect for this recipe. Cast iron holds higher temperatures more evenly which ensures even cooking time and a nice crust!
Serving Suggestions (Side Dish)
- With Potatoes: Pair with mashed potatoes, or baked sweet potatoes for the ultimate meal.
- Over Pasta: You can toss with your favorite pasta for a hearty dinner.
- With a Salad: A fresh green salad is a classic side dish to serve with these juicy steak pieces.
Storing and Reheating
If you have leftover steak bites, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed for best results.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use frozen steak?
- Yes, but make sure to thaw the steak completely and pat it dry before cooking to ensure a nice sear and accurate cooking times.
