- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter - 4 cloves garlic, minced - 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped - 1 tablespoon soy sauce for added umami - Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish - Salt and pepper to taste The main star of this dish is the sirloin steak. It cooks fast and gets tender. I always choose fresh, high-quality steak for the best flavor. The unsalted butter adds richness, while the minced garlic gives it a strong aroma. Fresh rosemary and thyme add depth. If you want to boost the flavor, add a touch of soy sauce. It gives a nice umami kick. Fresh parsley is optional but makes a pretty garnish. You can also add salt and pepper to suit your taste. These ingredients work together to create a dish that is both simple and delicious. First, you need to dry the steak cubes. Use paper towels to pat them dry. This helps the steak get a nice sear. Next, season the steak with salt and pepper. If you want a deeper flavor, drizzle soy sauce over the cubes. Toss them well to ensure even coating. Now, it's time to cook. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Wait until the butter starts to foam. Add the steak cubes in a single layer. Be sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes. You want them browned and cooked to your liking. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F to 135°F. Once done, remove the steak and set it aside. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, stir in 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of chopped rosemary, and 1 tablespoon of chopped thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. After that, toss the cooked steak bites back into the skillet. Mix everything well in the garlic butter sauce. Heat for an additional minute to let the flavors blend. For garlic butter steak bites, sirloin is a top choice. It’s tender and flavorful. You can also use ribeye for extra richness. Filet mignon works, too, but it can be pricey. Keep your cuts to about one-inch cubes. This size cooks well and stays juicy. Cooking times help you nail your steak's doneness. For medium-rare, aim for 2-3 minutes on each side. Check the internal temp; it should hit 130°F to 135°F. If you prefer medium, cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. Always let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking. This lets the juices settle and keeps it moist. While garlic and herbs shine in this dish, you can add more spice. Try a pinch of chili flakes for heat. A splash of Worcestershire sauce boosts umami. Fresh lemon juice adds brightness. Don’t be afraid to mix flavors! Taste as you go, and adjust to your liking. {{image_2}} You can switch things up by using chicken or shrimp instead of steak. For chicken, use boneless thighs or breasts. Cut them into bite-sized pieces. Cook them the same way as steak bites. For shrimp, choose large shrimp. Clean and devein them. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink. This keeps your meal fun and fresh! Want to add some heat? Consider adding chili flakes. A pinch can make a big difference. You can also try different herbs for new tastes. Basil or oregano can bring a nice twist. Experimenting with flavors can help you find your favorite! Pair your steak bites with sides like vegetables or rice. Roasted veggies add color and crunch. A fluffy rice dish can soak up the garlic butter. You could even serve them in a shallow bowl. This makes it easy to share and enjoy with friends or family. Don't forget toothpicks for a fun touch! To store leftover steak bites, let them cool first. Place them in an airtight container. They will stay fresh for about three days in the fridge. Make sure to label your container with the date. This helps you keep track of how long they’ve been stored. When you want to enjoy the steak bites again, reheating them properly is key. I recommend using a skillet. Heat a bit of butter or oil over medium heat. Add the steak bites and cook for about two minutes. This method keeps the flavor intact and the meat tender. You can also use a microwave, but it may dry out the steak. If you choose this method, cover the bites with a damp paper towel to keep moisture. Yes, you can freeze cooked steak bites! Let them cool completely before freezing. Place the bites in a freezer bag, pressing out as much air as possible. They can stay good for up to three months in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat, thaw them overnight in the fridge before reheating. This keeps the texture and taste just right. Garlic Butter Steak Bites stay fresh for up to three days in the fridge. Store them in an airtight container to keep them tasty. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Yes, you can prepare the steak bites ahead of time.

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. If using, drizzle soy sauce over the steak for extra flavor, and toss to coat.
