Today I’m going to share Garlic Butter Steak Bites With the Spicy Marinade recipe. The beef bites are very tender and juicy and take only 10-15 minutes to make. They go perfectly well with potatoes for lunch and dinner!
Garlic butter steak bites are simple to make and delicious. It’s great for a busy weeknight dinner whenever you feel full course dinner is a lot to handle in the kitchen.
It’s super easy to make these marinated steak bites since it takes only about 10 minutes. The first thing you do is cut the sirloin steak into cubes ( bite-sized) and season them with salt, black pepper and smoked paprika.
The next phase is warming up a cast-iron skillet and cooking the steak bites with butter and garlic. To bring up the taste, I really like adding my homemade dry rub before serving. The results are tender, juicy, and so flavorful beef bites that everyone will enjoy!
Ingredients
-
1 lb top sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
-
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
-
12 garlic cloves, peeled
-
½ tablespoon Italian seasoning
-
1 teaspoon homemade dry rub (or your favorite steak seasoning)
-
1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, chopped
-
Juice of ½ lemon (or about 4 small squirts)
Instructions
1. Marinate the Steak
Place the steak cubes in a bowl. Season with smoked paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat and let sit while you prep the skillet.
2. Cook the Garlic
Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the butter, and once melted, add the garlic cloves. Stir for a minute until fragrant and lightly golden.
3. Sear the Steak Bites
Add the steak cubes to the skillet with the garlic. Cook for about 3–4 minutes, stirring and tossing so the steak sears on all sides. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and dry rub, mixing well to coat.
4. Finish and Serve
Once the steak is cooked to your liking, stir in the fresh parsley. Remove from the heat, drizzle with lemon juice, and serve immediately.
