Garlic Butter Steak Bites

# What You'll Need:

→ Steak

01 - 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

02 - 1 tsp kosher salt

03 - 0.5 tsp black pepper

→ Garlic Butter Sauce

04 - 3 tbsp unsalted butter

05 - 4 cloves garlic, finely minced

06 - 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

07 - 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

→ For Cooking

08 - 1 tbsp olive oil

# Steps:

01 - Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.

02 - Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the surface.

03 - Arrange steak cubes in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear undisturbed for 2 minutes, then turn to brown all sides for 2 to 3 more minutes until medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely.

04 - Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter to the skillet and melt completely. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds without browning to release aroma.

05 - Return steak bites to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in garlic butter. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and optional crushed red pepper flakes.

06 - Serve immediately, spooning the garlic butter sauce over the steak bites.

# Expert Insights:

01 -

Ready in 20 minutes but tastes like you've been cooking all day.
The garlic butter gets into every crevice of the steak, so every bite is packed with flavor.
Naturally gluten-free and low carb, but nobody eating it will be thinking about restrictions.

02 -

Overcrowding the pan is the quickest way to steam instead of sear; give each cube space to breathe and brown properly.
Once the steak goes in, don't touch it for those first two minutes—that's how you build the crust that makes this dish sing.
