Cajun Garlic Butter Steak Bites are a delicious and flavorful dish that combines the bold flavors of Cajun seasoning with the richness of garlic butter. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steak:
- Pat the steak pieces dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Season the steak bites with Cajun seasoning, making sure to coat them evenly. You can adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning based on your spice preference.
- Sear the Steak:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the seasoned steak bites to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the steak on all sides until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, but adjust according to your preference. Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Cook the garlic until it becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Once the garlic is aromatic, add the cooked steak bites back to the skillet. Toss them in the garlic butter sauce until well-coated. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve:
- Transfer the Cajun Garlic Butter Steak Bites to a serving platter.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the steak bites hot as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. You can pair them with rice, potatoes, or a simple green salad.
