How to make garlic butter steak bites
Prepare The Steak: Cut your chosen steak into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch in size. Season well with salt and black pepper. Cook The Steak Bites: Add the olive oil to a large cast iron skillet or large frying pan. Allow to heat to medium-high heat – a hot pan is the secret to perfect garlic butter steak bites. Once hot, add the bite-size pieces of steak and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Add the butter and minced garlic to the pan and allow to cook for a further 2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant. You don’t need to cook this separately – just add in the last two minutes so the garlic doesn’t burn. Make sure the steak is completely coated in the garlic butter sauce, then remove from the pan, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Recipe tips
A hot pan is the best way to get juicy, delicious steak bites! Make sure the surface is at a medium-high temperature before adding the steak for a perfect sear. Using fresh garlic will give a deeper, more intense flavor – especially when freshly minced. Don’t touch the steak for the first minute or so of cooking – it’ll help it brown evenly and get a beautiful sear on the outside. Let the steak bites rest before garnishing and serving for extra-juicy cooked steak bites.
