Succulent Garlic Butter Steak Bites are the name of the game today!
I'm in my "bites" era. I've made Salmon Bites and Chicken Bites most recently and today, Steak Bites. Maybe it's because I have a baby that is out of the puree stage or because I have an almost 5 year old who loves a bite, or maybe it's just because things that are small are more fun to eat. Regardless, these Steak Bites are delightful. Little morsels of steak (cut into about a 1ish inch cube) seared to perfection and then finished in a fragrant garlic shallot butter sauce. You'll want to add these to your menu on a weekly basis. They are addictive.

How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Step 1: Slice steak into about 1-inch cubes and add to a bowl with the olive oil and Everyday Seasoning. Toss to combine.
Step 2: Heat a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add in an additional 2 tablespoons of oil and let heat until shimmering. Once shimmering, add in the cubes of steak and cook in small batches making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes and then flip to get a great sear.
Step 3: Once steak is cooked, remove steak from the skillet and set aside. Reduce skillet heat to medium low and add in butter and shallots and season with salt and black pepper and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add in the thyme, garlic and Worcestershire sauce and cook for about 30 seconds.
Step 4: Finish by adding back in the cooked steak bites and toss to combine.
Tips & Tricks
- Get a good sear. You'll want to use a heavy bottom cast iron or enamel pan. Think Lodge or Le Creuset those yield the best sears.
- Don't mess with the steak. Once it's in the pan, let it really sear for about 2 minutes before trying to turn it over to the over side. The meat should naturally release from the pan when it's ready to flip. If you try to flip it too early, you'll see some stickage.

So fast to put together. This recipe is so flavorful and delicious. We served over garlic mashed potatoes and YUM. I did have a little oil separating from the garlic, onion and thyme so wondering if I was supposed to drain the bit of oil left from sauteed onion♀️ in any event this will be on repeat it’s that yummy! Thank you for another fast and satisfying meal Gaby!!
