<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Everyone in my family loves a steak dinner, especially when I make these garlicky, buttery steak bites! They come out well-seasoned and tender every time and are impressively delicious, especially for requiring zero marinating time and only three ingredients.\n<\/p>\n
They\u2019re also very quick to make. If I\u2019ve chopped my garlic and cut up the steak ahead of time, I can get them on the table in about 10 minutes flat.\n<\/p>\n
The key to these steak bites is the garlic\u2014I use a lot of it so there\u2019s plenty in every bite. Use four cloves if they\u2019re big, and add a couple more if they\u2019re small. This is when you\u2019ll want to use fresh, not jarred garlic. It makes a big difference in the flavor of the final dish since it\u2019s one of only three ingredients!\n<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n I have a few favorite cuts of steak to use for steak bites. Most often, I choose top sirloin\u2014it tends to be less expensive than other cuts and strikes a good balance between affordability, tenderness, and flavor. If tri-tip is on sale, I use that\u2014it\u2019s usually more marbled and tender than sirloin. Fancier choices are strip steak and ribeye, ribeye being the fattiest, richest option. It\u2019s honestly a bit over the top with all of the butter in this recipe!\n<\/p>\n To make things easier, you can buy pre-cut meat if you like. In many grocery stores, you\u2019ll find packages labeled as \u201csteak tips\u201d or \u201csteak bites.\u201d Just don\u2019t go for the cuts labeled \u201cstew meat,\u201d since they tend to be tougher and require longer cooking times.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n Simply Recipes \/ Coco Morante<\/p>\n <\/span> <\/p>\n For three to four servings, you\u2019ll need:\n<\/p>\n Cut the steak into approximately 1 1\/2-inch pieces and pat them dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on all sides. I like to use Diamond Crystal kosher salt, about 3\/4 teaspoon plus 1\/2 teaspoon of pepper.\n<\/p>\n Turn on your range hood if you have one. Heat a large (12-inch) stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes, then add 1 tablespoon of butter. When the butter begins to sizzle and brown, add the steak bites in a single layer, leaving at least 1\/2 inch of space between them (if you\u2019re using a smaller skillet, you may need to work in batches).\n<\/p>\n Without moving the steak bites, sear them for about 3 minutes. Use a pair of tongs or a spatula to flip them over, then sear until they are well browned and cooked to medium doneness (140 to 145\u00baF in the middle when measured with an instant-read thermometer), 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the steak bites to a dish.\n<\/p>\n Turn the heat down to medium-low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the chopped garlic to the pan. Saut\u00e9 until the garlic is cooked through and no longer smells raw (but is not browned), 2 to 3 minutes, using a wooden spatula to nudge all of the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.\n<\/p>\n Remove the pan from the heat. Add the steak bites back to the pan and toss to coat them evenly with the garlic butter.\n<\/p>\n Transfer the steak bites to a serving dish, sprinkle with parsley (if using), and serve right away.\n<\/p>\n Simply Recipes \/ Coco Morante<\/p>\n <\/span> <\/p>\n When I\u2019m serving steak bites, I follow a dinner formula of meat + starchy side + vegetable side. For the starchy side, we\u2019ll usually have crispy potatoes, steamed rice, or buttered noodles, and for the vegetable dish I\u2019ll either air fry or steam some broccoli, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts. On nights when I can\u2019t be bothered to chop another thing, the vegetable side is a bag of frozen peas or mixed vegetables, microwaved and tossed with some butter, salt, and pepper.\n<\/p>\n You can add other ingredients to this recipe if you like. A dab of Dijon mustard stirred in at the end adds a little tanginess. Deglazing the pan with a splash of dry red wine after searing the steak adds depth of flavor. A sprinkle of rosemary gives some woodsy herbiness.\n<\/p>\n Keep it simple or play around with additional flavors to make the dish your own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n #Garlic #Butter #Steak #Bites #Recipe #Ingredients #Minutes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everyone in my family loves a steak dinner, especially when I make these garlicky, buttery steak bites!
