These juicy garlic butter steak bites are a foolproof, high-protein weeknight dinner that’s ready in 15 minutes. Tender bite-sized strips of steak are seared to perfection in a hot skillet, then bathed in a rich, aromatic garlic butter sauce infused with fresh herbs. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or alongside a crisp salad for a balanced meal.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt, divided
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat steak pieces dry and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned but still pink inside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add butter and garlic. Stir for 1 minute until garlic is fragrant and butter melts.
  4. Sprinkle in red pepper flakes (if using), stir to coat steak in sauce, and remove from heat.
  5. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use room-temperature steak and avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure a good sear.
  • Let steak rest 2–3 minutes after cooking for juicier bites.
  • Leftovers keep well, refrigerated, for up to 2 days.
