Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by cutting your beef into bite-sized pieces. Mince fresh garlic finely and chop parsley if using—this will ensure everything cooks evenly and flavors meld perfectly.
Sear the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil. Once hot, add the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding; sear until browned on all sides—about two minutes per side should do it.
Add Garlic and Butter: Reduce heat slightly; toss in the minced garlic followed by cubes of unsalted butter. Stir gently until melted and fragrant—let those aromas fill your kitchen!
Season Generously: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the mixture while stirring to coat every piece of meat evenly in that luscious buttery goodness—trust me, you want every bite seasoned just right.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped parsley on top if using. Serve immediately while hot—watch everyone dive in like it’s their last meal!
Now you’ve created incredible Garlic Butter Steak Bites that are sure to impress! Enjoy every savory bite!
