    Why You'll Love These Garlic Butter Steak Bites

    • You only need 15 minutes and a handful of ingredients. This is one of the easiest and quickest dinners you can make. Since the steak is cut into smaller pieces to make steak bites, they take less time to cook, which means dinner is on the table sooner rather than later. And all you need to make steak bites is a handful of ingredients — steak, oil, butter, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. It’s fast and easy.
    • The garlic butter sauce is simple yet amazing. After cooking the steak bites, you’ll add butter and fresh minced garlic to make a simple but delectable garlic butter sauce that brings out the natural flavor of the juicy, tender beef. You'll want to cook everything in this sauce.
    • Steak bites are great as an appetizer or main dish with sides. Use these steak bites as a low-carb appetizer served with toothpicks, or serve it as the protein for your main meal with some starchy side to make them more filling. Pair garlic butter steak bites with pasta, rice, potatoes, seafood (hello surf and turf!), and your favorite vegetable side dishes.

    Ingredient Notes

    To make these easy Garlic Butter Steak Bites, you will need the following ingredients (full measurements in recipe card below):

    • steak - use your favorite steak such as sirloin steak, ribeye, or strip steaks.
    • salt and pepper
    • vegetable oil - use any vegetable oil that you have on hand such as avocado oil or grapeseed oil.
    • butter
    • garlic
    • fresh herbs - we added thyme to the garlic butter to add a delicious flavor. You can substitute with other fresh herbs that you like such as oregano, mint, or dill. We also garnished these steak bites with parsley on top.

    You will also need measuring cups and spoons and and a large skillet (I used our cast-iron skillet).

    How to Make the Best Garlic Butter Steak Bites

    1. Season the beef. Use a paper towel to pat the steak bites completely dry with paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.

    1. Sear the beef. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the hot oil sizzles, about 1 minute. Add the steak bites in a single layer in the skillet and sear until browned, about 2 minutes. Flip them over and cook on the other side for 2 minutes until golden brown. Do not stir while searing the meat.
    2. Add butter and garlic. Add butter and melt until it starts to bubble. Stir well to coat the steak bites evenly. Stir in garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

    Storing Instructions

You could also reheat on the stove over medium-low heat until warmed through.
