Irresistible Garlic Butter Steak Bites Tasty Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- to taste salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by patting the steak pieces dry with paper towels to ensure a nice sear. Season them generously with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until sizzling.
- Add the steak bites in a single layer without overcrowding the skillet (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice crust and are medium-rare or cooked to your liking. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and thyme. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
- Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet, turning to coat them in the garlic butter mixture. Cook for an additional minute to allow flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot with toothpicks as an appetizer or over rice/mashed potatoes for a main course.
