Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 pound (454 grams) steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into 1-inch cubes
Fats and Flavor Enhancers:
- 4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
Seasonings and Garnish:
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Create uniform cubes from the steak, ensuring each piece is roughly the same size for consistent cooking.
- Generously coat the meat cubes with salt and freshly ground black pepper, massaging the seasoning into the surface for maximum flavor absorption.
- Place a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet on high heat, allowing it to become extremely hot before adding a portion of butter.
- Carefully place the seasoned steak pieces into the sizzling skillet, arranging them in a single layer without overcrowding to achieve a perfect golden-brown sear.
- Allow the meat to develop a rich caramelized crust by cooking undisturbed for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, creating a delectable exterior.
- Reduce the heat to medium and introduce the remaining butter along with finely chopped garlic, creating an aromatic coating that will infuse the meat with rich, savory notes.
- Gently toss the steak cubes in the garlic butter mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly glazed and glistening with flavor.
- Swiftly remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the steak bites for a burst of color and fresh herbaceous essence.
- Transfer the garlic butter steak bites to a serving platter and present immediately while the meat is hot and the butter is still melted.
Notes
- Choose a well-marbled cut like ribeye or sirloin for maximum flavor and tenderness, ensuring juicy steak bites.
- Pat the steak cubes completely dry before seasoning to achieve perfect golden-brown searing without steaming the meat.
- For a low-carb or keto-friendly version, use grass-fed butter and skip any additional carbohydrate-rich ingredients.
- Avoid overcrowding the skillet to guarantee each steak bite develops a beautiful caramelized exterior without releasing excess moisture.
