Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 pounds steak, cut into small bite size pieces
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Garlic Butter Sauce and Garnish
- 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
- 6 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- Green onion, for garnish
Instructions
- Season the Steak Bites: Season the steak pieces evenly with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to ensure all pieces are coated with the seasoning.
- Cook the Steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the avocado oil to the hot skillet. Place the steak bites in a single layer and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown all sides. If your skillet is small, cook the steak in batches to avoid overcrowding. Once browned, remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
- Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: Remove any excess water from the skillet, then add the butter or ghee. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.
- Combine and Finish Cooking: Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the garlic butter sauce. Cook an additional 2 minutes while stirring to meld the flavors. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the garlic butter steak bites with chopped green onions and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use avocado oil or any high smoke point oil for best searing results.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice preference or omit for a milder dish.
- Butter can be substituted with ghee for a richer flavor and dairy-free option.
- For best results, pat the steak dry before seasoning to promote better browning.
- Serve with steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or over rice for a complete meal.
