This Garlic Steak Bites recipe delivers tender, juicy pieces of steak seared to perfection and tossed in a rich garlic butter sauce. Perfectly seasoned and garnished with fresh parsley and green onions, it makes for a quick and flavorful meal ready in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Steak Bites

  • 2 pounds of steak, cut into small bite size pieces
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • ½ tablespoon avocado oil

Garlic Butter Sauce & Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • Green onion, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the Steak: In a bowl, season the steak bites with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes; toss to evenly coat all pieces.
  2. Sear the Steak Bites: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. Place the steak bites in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally. Cook in batches if necessary. Remove the steak from the pan once browned.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: Remove any excess moisture from the skillet, then add butter or ghee. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Combine and Finish Cooking: Return the steak bites to the skillet, cooking for another 1-2 minutes while stirring to coat the pieces in the garlic butter sauce.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, stir in the chopped parsley, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, adjust the red pepper flakes to your preferred heat level.
  • Use ghee instead of butter for a slightly nuttier flavor and dairy-free option.
  • Be sure not to overcrowd the pan when searing steak to ensure proper browning.
  • Serve with a side of vegetables or over rice for a complete meal.
