What You Need To Make This Juicy Garlic Butter Steak Bites Recipe?
Steak: While we usually prefer sirloin, for its tenderness and robust flavor you can also explore Ribeye or Porterhouse cuts. Each one brings its taste and texture to the bites.
Garlic: Minced garlic is essential to achieving that aromatic flavor that defines this dish. In a pinch, you can use store-bought minced garlic. Fresh is always the best choice.
Beef Broth: Adding beef broth not only adds moisture. Also enhances the savory profile of the steak bites. If you’re watching your salt intake go for a low sodium version. Adjust the seasoning accordingly.
Onion Powder: A dash of onion powder gives a subtle onion background without the crunch or strong taste of fresh onions. It’s about creating depth in flavors.
Olive Oil: We prefer using olive oil for its mild flavor and health benefits. However, if you want a richer taste you can substitute it with canola or vegetable oil.
Brown Sugar: Just a hint of sugar caramelizes beautifully lending a sweetness and an appealing sear to the steak bites.
Butter: When we say butter we mean creamy butter. This ingredient combines with garlic to give our steak bites their signature richness.
Fresh Parsley: Never underestimate the power of this herb. It adds a touch that balances out the richness and brings vibrancy to your dish. In case you opt for dried parsley keep in mind that it has a potent flavor so make sure to adjust the amount.
Steps To Make Juicy Garlic Butter Steak Bites:
Step 1: Get your large skillet all heated up with olive oil on high heat. You want that pan sizzling hot, folks!
Step 2: Toss those steak cubes with salt, pepper, onion magic, and brown sugar. Once all seasoned up, introduce them to the hot skillet. If it’s too crowded, play it cool and cook it in batches.
Step 3: Give those steak bites a good 3-minute sear, tossing and turning until they’re beautifully browned and cooked just the way you like.
Step 4: Here comes the flavor bomb! Off the heat, stir in the garlic, fresh parsley, decadent butter, and that beefy broth. Once everything’s in harmony, get them back on low heat for about 4 mesmerizing minutes.
Step 5: Plate up and serve while it’s piping hot. Relish every bite!
Tip:
To enhance the flavor further you may want to marinate the steak cubes in a mixture of salt, pepper, onion powder, and brown sugar for at least 30 minutes prior, to cooking. This allows the steak to soak up all those flavors guaranteeing that each bite is exceptionally tasty and fragrant. Don’t forget to let the steak reach room temperature before searing it for an even cooked result.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use dried parsley instead of fresh?
While fresh parsley adds a touch you can use dried parsley as an alternative. Just keep in mind that dried herbs are more concentrated so adjust the quantity accordingly.
What sides pair well with these steak bites?

Can I store leftovers?
Absolutely! You can store them in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for, up to 3 days. When reheating take care to do it gently to prevent overcooking the steak.
