You’ll Agree This is The Best Steak Recipe Because …

Easy Ingredients and Variations
Steak: Pricier cuts of beef like sirloin, rounds, or ribeye work best in this recipe and since they’re cut into small chunks, a little will go a long way.
Sauce: Butter and garlic sauce is delectable on these steak bites.
Seasonings: Buy or make your steak seasoning and adjust the ingredients.
Variations
Butter is delicious, but if you have it, leftover melted bacon grease will give steak bites a deep, smoky flavor perfect with the garlic butter.
Bites can be dipped in BBQ or teriyaki sauce, sour cream, or your favorite dips. Try them with spinach or queso dip on toothpicks and watch them disappear.
Use up that savory garlic flavor in the skillet and saute some mushrooms or broccolini. Red pepper flakes can be added for some extra spicy flavor.
Match the flavor profile to the menu and use your favorite seasoning. Try southwestern steak bites or some zesty Cajun bites.
How to Make Steak Bites with Garlic Butter
Steak bites with garlic butter go from the stovetop to the table in minutes.
- Sear steak bites in oil until your desired level of doneness (recipe below).
- Turn off heat and stir in remaining ingredients.
- Cover and let steak bites cook about a minute without heat.
- Allow to rest before serving.
Tips for Perfect Steak Bites
- If using tougher cuts of beef like skirt, chuck, tri-tip steak, or flank, marinate the bites in Italian or Greek dressing inside a zippered bag in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before cooking.
- Keep leftover steak bites with garlic butter in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat steak bites in the microwave or air fryer, and be sure to make fresh garlic butter sauce for extra flavorful bites.
- Leftovers taste great cold on a red leaf salad, with a cucumber tomato salad, or chopped up for steak tacos or fajitas and washed down with a spicy Moscow Mule.
