These seared Garlic Butter Steak Bites pack so much flavor and are so easy to throw together! The best part? They’re ready in 15 minutes!

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!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 ½ pound sirloin steak (cut into bite size pieces, or strip loin, tenderloin, strip steak or rib eye)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon parsley (fresh, chopped)

Before You Begin! If you make this, please leave a review and rating letting us know how you liked this recipe! This helps our business thrive & continue providing free recipes.

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 💙

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.

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.

Going to make this on Sunday. Would I be able to use a sirloin tip roast if I cubed it?
