Prep the steak bites:
Pat beef cubes dry with paper towels—this ensures a perfect sear. 🧻✨
Season generously with salt and black pepper.
Sear the steak bites:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over high heat. 🔥
Add steak cubes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Sear 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to your preferred doneness. 🥩✨
Remove steak bites and set aside.
Make the garlic butter:
Lower heat to medium. Add butter to the pan.
Sauté minced garlic and herbs for 30–60 seconds until fragrant. 🧄🌿
Optional: stir in Worcestershire sauce for extra depth. 🥫
Combine & coat:
Return steak bites to the pan. Toss quickly in the garlic butter until well coated. 🥩🧈
Garnish & serve:
Sprinkle chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a bright finish. 🌿🍋
Serve hot as appetizers, steak salad topping, or with mashed potatoes/rice. 🍚🥔
Tips & Tricks
Use room-temperature steak for even cooking.
Don’t overcrowd the pan—sear in batches if necessary for maximum browning.
For extra flavor, finish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or chili flakes. 🌶️
🍽️ Serving Suggestion: Pair with garlic mashed potatoes 🥔🧄, roasted veggies 🥦🥕, or crusty bread 🥖 to soak up all that garlic butter.
I can also make a quick 10-minute skillet hack version that’s perfect for weeknights while keeping it juicy and crispy.
