Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic-Butter Sauce
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (low-sodium optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Cut the steak into 1-inch bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking and easy serving.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter until it begins to sizzle, ready for the steak.
- Sear the Steak Cubes: Season the steak cubes generously with salt and pepper, then add them to the hot skillet. Cook for about 4 minutes, turning occasionally to brown all sides and develop a flavorful crust.
- Add Garlic and Sauce: Add the minced garlic and soy sauce to the skillet along with another tablespoon of butter. Stir and cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to combine and the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Serve and Garnish: Transfer the cooked steak bites to a serving plate. Drizzle the remaining garlic-butter sauce from the skillet over the steak. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a fresh touch.
Notes
- For a low-sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce or reduce the amount.
- Make sure the skillet is hot enough before adding steak to achieve a good sear.
- You can substitute sirloin or ribeye with your preferred cut of steak suitable for quick cooking.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
