Steak Bites with Garlic Butter

Certainly! Steak bites with garlic butter make for a delicious and satisfying dish. Here’s a simple recipe for you:

Ingredients:

• 1 pound (about 450g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Steak Bites:
   • Pat the steak pieces dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
   • Season the steak bites with salt and pepper according to your taste.
2. Cook the Steak Bites:
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the steak bites to the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the meat.
   • Sear the steak bites for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (55-57°C).
   • Once cooked, remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
3. Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat until the garlic becomes fragrant and softens, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Combine and Serve:
   • Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly. Allow them to heat through for an additional minute.
   • Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
   • Serve the steak bites with the garlic butter sauce drizzled over the top.
   • Optionally, serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.

This dish pairs well with a side of mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp salad. Enjoy your steak bites with garlic butter!
