Ingredients
– 1 lb beef sirloin or filet mignon, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create mouth-watering Steak Bites with Garlic Butter:
1. Prep the Steak: Start by cutting the beef into 1-inch cubes and patting them dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a good sear.
2. Season the Steak: In a bowl, toss the beef cubes with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, ensuring all sides are coated evenly.
3. Heat the Pan: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
4. Sear the Steak: Add the seasoned beef to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid crowding the pan; sear the beef for about 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Cook in batches if necessary.
5. Add Garlic: Once the steak bites are browned and cooked to your liking, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter and minced garlic to the pan.
6. Finish Cooking: Stir the steak bites in the garlic butter for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant and the butter to coat the meat beautifully.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
8. Serve: Plate the steak bites warm, drizzling any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over them.
