Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch bite-sized cubes

Garlic Herb Butter

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings and Additions

  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne (for a spicy kick, optional)
  • Shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (for cheesy variation, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Cut the steak into 1-inch bite-sized cubes for even cooking and easy eating. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to ensure a proper sear and avoid steaming.
  2. Make the Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until fully blended, creating the classic garlic bread flavor.
  3. Sear the Steak Bites: Heat a cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Arrange the steak bites in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, forming a golden-brown crust while keeping the inside juicy.
  4. Toss with Garlic Butter: Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic herb butter directly to the pan. Gently toss the steak bites to coat every piece evenly with the buttery garlic mixture.
  5. Serve and Add Parmesan: Transfer the Garlic Bread Steak Bites to a serving platter. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired, and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.

Notes

  • Use high-quality steak cuts like sirloin or ribeye for the most tender and flavorful bites.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; sear in batches if necessary to maintain a crisp crust.
  • Allow steak cubes to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking for even cooking.
  • Always use fresh minced garlic for the best, most vibrant flavor.
  • Let the steak bites rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juicy texture.
