Garlic Butter Steak Bites
These tender chunks of beef are seared and tossed with butter, shallots, and garlic and finished with fresh parsley and green onion. A must for steak lovers!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef tenderloin cut into 1" cubes (can also use sirloin or ribeye)
- 1 tablespoon Diamond Crystal Kosher salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes optional
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil avocado, vegetable, canola, etc
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 8 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large shallot finely minced
- 3 large green onions minced
- 1/4 cup parsley minced
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cut steak into 1-inch cubes.
- Heat a large cast iron pan to medium-high heat. While the pan is heating up, pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and season with salt.
- Add the oil to the pan and once shimmering add one layer of the steak, taking care to not overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2 minutes per side then remove pieces to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat for the next batch.
- Turn the heat to low and remove most of the oil from the pan with paper towels. Place the butter and shallot into the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Next, add the garlic and continue to cook until it turns lightly golden and very fragrant. During the last 30 seconds of cooking add in the optional red pepper flakes.
- Turn the heat to medium, return the beef cubes to the pan, and toss until warmed through (about 2 minutes). Taste test and season with more salt and pepper if required. Mix in the green onion and parsley and serve immediately.

Notes
- Cooking the beef for 2 minutes per side will achieve a perfect medium-rare, but if you like it more cooked, simply increase the cooking time.
- Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days in the fridge and can be reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
