Steak Bites
You know what’s better than a 30 Minute Recipe? A 15 Minute Recipe! Seriously! This 15 Minute Recipe is for the meat lovers out there! Lots of delicious steak bites smothered in a yummy garlic butter sauce! Have I piqued your interest yet?
You know what else? It’s all in one skillet! I live in Alberta, so we love our steak here and I’m no exception. I love a good steak, but I also love steak bites, because they’re so full of flavor and so easy to prepare. These bite size pieces of steak look fancy if you’re throwing a party, just spear them with toothpicks and watch them disappear.
What Ingredients Do You Need For Garlic Butter Steak Bites
If the name doesn’t say it all for you, here’s what you’ll need:
- Garlic – the more the better. If you know me you know I love my garlic so go nuts!
- Butter – I always use unsalted because this way I can control the salt in all my recipes.
- Steak – I love using a sirloin steak in this recipe and cut it into small pieces. Sirloin packs a lot of flavor and it’s pretty tender, but still affordable.
- Olive Oil – extra virgin.
- Salt & Pepper – to season to your liking.
- Red Pepper Flakes – for a little bit of heat, so if you want it mild, just skip the pepper flakes.
- Parsley – I always love to garnish everything with a little bit of parsley because it makes the dish look so much better. We eat with our eyes first!
What Other Cut Of Beef Can I Use For Steak Bites
As mentioned, I used sirloin because it’s a tender, flavorful and inexpensive cut of beef. Other cuts you could use would be tenderloin, rib eye or New York strip steak.
How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Garlic butter steak bites couldn’t be any easier. The secret though, is to use a really hot skillet, because you don’t want to overcook the steak. The steak bites really only require about 4 to 5 minutes, if the skillet is hot enough.
My other secret is to not stir the steak bites for the first 1 or 2 minutes, let it get a nice sear from the skillet. I also like to cook the garlic butter separately because I don’t want to add it with the steak, so that the garlic doesn’t burn. Then all that’s left to do is pour the garlic butter over the steak and serve.
What To Serve Steak Bites With
Serve these with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, pasta or zucchini noodles for a healthier option, or just with some crusty bread to soak up that garlic butter.
However, they are perfect as an appetizer. Stick some toothpicks in them and watch how fast they go!

Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 ½ pound sirloin steak (cut into bite size pieces, or strip loin, tenderloin, strip steak or rib eye)

Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat it over high heat. Make sure the olive oil is hot, then add the steak pieces to it. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook for at least 2 minutes before stirring the steak pieces. You want to make sure you get a good sear on them. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until they're golden brown. If your skillet isn't big enough, you may need to do this batches.
- Transfer the steak bites to a plate and in the same skillet add the butter. Turn the heat down to a medium and after the butter has melted, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 30 seconds while stirring, just until the garlic becomes aromatic and starts to brown.
- Pour the garlic butter over the steak bites and toss well. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Making these tonight. Love that I can separate out the bites from medium/well for different people. I added a little hot honey to the butter for a sweet/spicy!! Looks amazing. Taste amazing. All I had in the freezer was a couple lbs of butcher cut tip steak left. Can definitely make this with any beef 💙
A new quickie tastes great dinner! Thanks!
Tried this recipe. Very delicious! I served it with a jazz up polenta type side dish. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Amazing recipe! Will definitly be making it again!
Happy to hear it.
I’m glad I came across this! I was planning to make something new for dinner. I showed my husband and he got so excited! It was a straightforward recipe and it came out amazingly! Would definitely make this again!
Delicious and quick weeknight meal! A family favorite!
These turned out amazing! I doubled the butter and garlic so we’d have a bit more of a ‘sauce’ and served this over long grain and wild rice.
So glad you liked the garlic bites.
I made this and of course doubled the garlic and butter. Poured it over mashed potatoes and wow! Definitely making this again and again.
Great steak bite recipe. Really good with side mashed potatoes and a lite gravy.
These were the absolute best Steak Bites Ive ever had. Thank you.
I made the recipe and it was delicious! It was fast, inexpensive, and great for a family. The Steak Bites were served with baked potatoes and a cauliflower, red pepper, and broccoli blend. It was hard to believe that this entire meal could be made in 30 minutes.
This recipe is a keeper! It was absolutely delicious.
This was a great way to enjoy steak tips today! Quick and delicious! Thank you!
AMAZING AND EASY!
Omg these came out so good! It was my first time making anything with steak and this recipe was super easy to follow and so quick. I paired them with mashed potatoes and it was a delicious fast dinner!! I look forward to trying your other recipes 🙂
So glad you liked the steak bites!
Going to make this on Sunday. Would I be able to use a sirloin tip roast if I cubed it?
Yeah, I think it should be fine.
