Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Sirloin Steak: Choose high-quality sirloin for tenderness and flavor; it’s perfect for quick cooking.

• Fresh Garlic: Use minced fresh garlic for an aromatic punch that elevates the dish.

• Unsalted Butter: Opt for unsalted butter to control the saltiness; it creates a rich sauce.

• Olive Oil: A splash of olive oil helps achieve that perfect sear without burning.

• Salt and Pepper: Simple seasonings that bring out the natural flavors of the steak.

• Fresh Parsley: Chopped parsley adds a burst of color and freshness as garnish.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Prep Your Steak: Start by cutting your sirloin steak into bite-sized cubes about 1 inch thick. This ensures even cooking and maximizes flavor absorption.

Sear Those Bites: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add steak cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear until browned on all sides.

Add Garlic Butter: Once all steak bites are cooked, reduce heat to medium-low. Add unsalted butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir continuously until fragrant, about one minute.

Toss and Coat: Immediately toss the seared steak bites in the garlic butter mixture until evenly coated. Allow them to soak up all that buttery goodness.

Seasoning is Key: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the steak bites to enhance their natural flavors. A pinch more garlic powder can also add depth if you’re feeling adventurous.

Garnish Before Serving: Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving. This adds color and freshness while elevating presentation.

Now you have perfectly cooked steak bites with garlic butter ready to impress your family or guests!

Serve these beauties immediately while they’re still hot and dripping with deliciousness. You can pair them with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or even a fresh salad if you’re feeling health-conscious (but let’s be honest; we all know why we’re really here). Enjoy every last bite!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by searing the steak bites in a hot skillet to lock in flavors, then add garlic and butter for that irresistible finish.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out seasonings or add herbs like rosemary or thyme to elevate the flavor profile of your steak bites.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover steak bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently on low heat to maintain tenderness.

Sharing my first attempt at these steak bites still makes me chuckle; I had more garlic than steak, but my friends devoured every bite!
