Cheesy Butter Steak Bites (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Steak

01 - 454 g sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces

→ Fats and Oils

02 - 113 g unsalted butter
03 - 30 ml olive oil

→ Seasonings

04 - 5 ml garlic powder
05 - 5 ml onion powder
06 - Salt and black pepper to taste

→ Cheese

07 - 113 g shredded cheddar cheese

→ Garnish

08 - 30 g chopped fresh parsley (optional)

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil to prevent sticking and ensure a proper sear.
02 - Pat steak pieces dry with paper towels and season evenly with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
03 - Place steak bites in the hot skillet without overcrowding; sear for 3 to 4 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms, working in batches if necessary.
04 - Reduce heat to low, pour melted butter over the steak bites, and stir gently to coat all pieces; cook for 1 to 2 minutes to infuse flavor.
05 - Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the steak bites, cover skillet with a lid, and allow cheese to melt for approximately 1 minute.
06 - Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Use freshly grated cheddar for best melt and flavor; cook steak in batches to prevent steaming; let steak rest a few minutes after cooking to retain juices.
