🥩 Steak Bites with Garlic Butter

🔪 Ingredients:

• 1 ½ lbs sirloin steak (or ribeye, NY strip), cut into 1-inch cubes

• Salt and black pepper, to taste

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)

• Red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)

🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the Steak:

   • Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels (this helps with browning).

   • Season generously with salt and pepper.

2. Sear the Steak:

   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet (cast iron works great) over medium-high heat.

   • When the pan is hot, add the steak cubes in a single layer — do not overcrowd. Cook in batches if needed.

   • Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned and medium-rare to medium inside. Remove to a plate.

3. Make Garlic Butter:

   • In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium.

   • Add the butter and let it melt.

   • Stir in minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds (until fragrant, but not browned).

4. Toss & Finish:

   • Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter.

   • Cook for another 1–2 minutes just to warm through.

5. Garnish:

   • Sprinkle with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes, if using.

   • Serve immediately.

🍽️ Serving Ideas:
