For the Steak Bites:
- 1 ½ pounds sirloin steak or ribeye, filet mignon, or New York strip, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for a spicy kick
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice for a subtle zest
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce for extra depth
Step 1: Prepare the Steak
Pat dry the steak cubes with a paper towel. This ensures a nice sear when cooked.
Season the steak evenly with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 2: Sear the Steak Bites
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the steak won’t sear properly.
Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep golden crust forms. For medium-rare, cook until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F.
Remove the steak bites from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add unsalted butter to the skillet.
Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped parsley.
Step 4: Coat the Steak Bites
Return the steak bites to the pan and toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce.
Cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
