Garlic Butter Steak Bites (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
500 g sirloin or ribeye steak, trimmed and cut into 2 cm cubes
02 -
4 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
03 -
40 g unsalted butter
04 -
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
05 -
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, or to taste
06 -
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Pat steak dry with paper towels and cut into uniform 2 cm cubes. Season generously with salt and pepper and set aside for several minutes to allow the seasoning to permeate.
02 -
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high until hot. Add 15 g butter and let it melt and foam slightly, taking care not to brown.
03 -
Arrange steak cubes in a single layer in the skillet. Sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until a deep brown crust forms. Turn pieces over and cook a further 2 minutes for medium-rare, or to your preferred doneness. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
04 -
Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining butter and garlic. Continuously stir and toss for 1-2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant and to infuse the butter, ensuring it does not brown or burn.
05 -
Transfer steak bites to a warmed serving platter. Spoon the garlic butter from the skillet over the steak, then sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately for optimum flavor and texture.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Allowing the seasoned steak to rest before cooking enhances juiciness and flavor development.
02 -
Sear steak in batches to maintain a high pan temperature and achieve an even, caramelized crust.
03 -
Garlic should be added toward the end of cooking to prevent burning and bitterness.
