Garlic Butter Steak Bites are a quick and delicious skillet-cooked dish featuring tender sirloin or ribeye steak cubes seared to perfection, tossed in a flavorful garlic butter and soy sauce sauce, and garnished with fresh parsley. This recipe is perfect for a hearty and savory meal ready in just 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

Seasoning & Sauce

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce

Garnish

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Season the Steak: Generously season the steak cubes with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor and prepare them for searing.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, which ensures a good sear on the steak.
  3. Sear the Steak: Cook the steak cubes in batches for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides for optimum texture and flavor.
  4. Add Garlic and Butter: Reduce the heat to medium-low, then add the minced garlic and butter to the skillet. Stir continuously until the butter melts and the garlic becomes fragrant without burning.
  5. Incorporate Soy Sauce: Pour in the low-sodium soy sauce and cook for an additional minute, stirring to coat the steak bites evenly in the savory garlic butter sauce.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the steak bites, and serve immediately for the best taste and presentation.

Notes

  • Use sirloin or ribeye steak for the best tenderness and flavor.
  • Cooking the steak in batches prevents overcrowding and ensures proper browning.
  • Be careful not to burn the garlic; lower the heat as soon as steak is seared.
  • Low-sodium soy sauce keeps the dish flavorful without overpowering saltiness.
  • Serve with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
