Garlic Butter Steak Bites Recipe
Delicious and juicy, quick to cook, suitable for busy daily life.
Garlic Butter Steak Bites is a simple and quick dish that cuts steak into small pieces and pairs them with a rich garlic butter sauce. With a cooking time of just 10 minutes, it's perfect for busy professionals or family dinners.
👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️
Steak (recommended cuts: New York steak, beef tenderloin, or ribeye): 1 1/4 pounds, trimmed of fat, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
Coarse salt: 1 teaspoon
Black pepper: 1 teaspoon
Unsalted butter: 2 tablespoons
Freshly chopped parsley: 2 tablespoons
👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:
In a bowl, combine the cubed steak pieces with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Marinate for at least 15 minutes. You can also marinate them a day ahead and store them in the refrigerator.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water sizzles and evaporates immediately.
Add the steak cubes and let them cook undisturbed for 3 minutes on one side to form a crust.
Stir the steak cubes and continue cooking for 2 minutes until they reach your desired doneness. If you prefer a medium-rare center, reduce the cooking time slightly.
When the steak's surface is evenly browned and crusty, remove the skillet from heat, add the butter, and stir to coat the steak evenly with butter.
Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with toothpicks (as an appetizer) or with potatoes, rice, or vegetables as a main dish for dinner.
👉🏻✨TIPS
Avoid using too tough or lean cuts of steak. Look for cuts with some marbling and fat, but not excessively.
When cooking, mostly cook them on one side. If you try to cook them evenly on all sides, they won't form a crust.
Leftover steak bites can be stored in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days. To reheat, warm them up in a skillet with a little olive oil or in the microwave on high for 15 seconds.
👉🏻✨BENEFITS
This dish not only boasts a rich flavor with the garlic butter sauce, but it's also quick to prepare, making it ideal for busy lifestyles. Whether served as an appetizer or a main dish, it offers a delicious treat.
👉🏻✨NUTRITIONAL
Steak is rich in high-quality protein and iron, while butter provides abundant fat and energy. Parsley adds vitamins and minerals to the dish. Although it's high in calories, consuming it in moderation can provide the body with necessary nutrients and energy.
