My daughter made this Steak Bites with Garlic Butter 

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak:
   • Start by cutting the steak into bite-sized cubes. Make sure the pieces are about the same size for even cooking. You can use a ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin steak—whatever you prefer or have on hand.
   • Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. This step is important for getting a nice sear on the meat. Season the steak generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
2. Cook the Steak Bites:
   • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the steak cubes in a single layer. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan—if needed, cook the steak bites in batches.
   • Sear the steak for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of about 130°F (54°C). For medium, cook to 140°F (60°C).
   • Once the steak bites are cooked, remove them from the pan and set them aside.
3. Make the Garlic Butter:
   • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and allow it to melt. As it melts, scrape up any flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pan—this will give the garlic butter even more flavor.
   • Add the minced garlic to the butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic becomes fragrant and golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
   • For an extra layer of flavor, stir in the Worcestershire sauce (if using) and cook for another 30 seconds.
4. Combine the Steak and Garlic Butter:
   • Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss the steak bites in the sauce, making sure each piece is coated in the rich, buttery goodness.
   • Cook for another 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or garlic powder, if needed.
5. Serve and Garnish:
   • Transfer the steak bites to a serving platter or individual plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and a burst of fresh flavor.
   • Serve immediately while the steak is hot and tender.

• Garlic Butter Magic: The garlic butter sauce is the star of this dish. It’s rich, savory, and completely addictive. Every bite of steak is coated in that melt-in-your-mouth sauce, making each piece more flavorful than the last.
• Versatility: These steak bites can be served with almost anything. Pair them with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, pasta, or even on top of a salad for a light, satisfying meal.

Tips for Perfect Steak Bites

• Choose the Right Steak: While you can use any cut of beef, tender cuts like ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon are the best options for steak bites. These cuts are tender and cook quickly, making them perfect for this recipe.
• Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: When searing the steak, make sure there’s enough space in the pan for the pieces to cook evenly. Overcrowding the pan can cause the meat to steam rather than sear.
• Customize the Flavor: Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking. You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat, or a squeeze of lemon juice for freshness. A dash of soy sauce can also be a great addition for a deeper umami flavor.
• Rest the Steak: Once the steak bites are cooked, let them rest for a minute or two before serving. This helps the juices redistribute and keeps the meat tender and juicy.
