  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil for searing the steak without burning and adding a subtle nutty flavor

– 2 pounds steak (top sirloin preferred; alternatives include New York strip, tenderloin, rib eye), cut into one-inch bite-sized pieces for main protein and chew

– 2 teaspoons salt for seasoning the meat evenly and enhancing its natural flavors

– 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper for adding mild heat and depth

– 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) for an optional spicy kick

– 2 tablespoons butter or ghee for creating a rich, creamy sauce that coats the steak

– 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced for bold, aromatic flavor

– 1/4 cup chopped parsley (fresh preferred, dried optional) for fresh, herby note and color

– Green onion for garnish to provide a crisp, fresh finish that enhances presentation and taste

Instructions

1-Getting started with Garlic Butter Beef Bites is as easy as it gets! First, gather all your ingredients and tools to make the process smooth. This means chopping your steak into even pieces and mincing the garlic ahead of time so everything flows quickly.

2-Second Step: Season the steak bites thoroughly. Take your 2 pounds of steak pieces and mix them with 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes if you want some spice. Toss everything together in a bowl to coat evenly, which helps lock in flavor from the start.

3-Third Step: Heat up your skillet. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil once it’s hot. This ensures a good sear on the steak without sticking, so lay the pieces in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring now and then until they brown nicely. If you have a lot of steak, do this in batches to avoid crowding the pan.

4-Fourth Step: Remove the steak and handle the pan. Take the browned steak out and set it aside. Pour out any excess water from the skillet to keep things from getting soggy, then add 2 tablespoons butter or ghee. Once it melts, toss in the 6 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it smells amazing, but don’t let it burn.

5-Fifth Step: Combine and finish cooking. Put the steak back into the skillet and stir it around in that garlic butter for 1-2 more minutes. This coats each piece perfectly and blends the flavors. Then, take it off the heat and mix in 1/4 cup chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

6-Sixth Step: Garnish and serve. Add sliced green onion on top for a bit of crunch and color, then dish it out right away while it’s hot. This recipe takes just 10 minutes to prep and 10 minutes to cook, making it ideal for busy folks.
