Make restaurant-style garlic butter steak bites quickly in a skillet. These cubes of beef are tender, juicy, and coated in a rich, savory garlic butter sauce, perfect for a fast weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season them evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the steak cubes to the hot skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Work in batches if necessary.
  4. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until a brown crust forms. You are aiming for medium-rare to medium doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same skillet.
  6. Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and thyme. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  7. Return the steak bites to the skillet. Toss them gently to coat completely in the garlic butter sauce.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the fresh parsley.
  9. Serve the garlic butter steak bites immediately. These pair well with potatoes for an easy meal planning solution.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to the butter mixture just before returning the steak to the pan.
  • If you are looking for quick meals without the hassle of cooking, consider checking out some meal delivery companies for inspiration.
  • To achieve a restaurant style sear, make sure your skillet is very hot before adding the steak.
