Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and lightly golden.

Step 3

Season the steak bites with dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss the steak pieces to coat them evenly with the seasoning.

Step 4

Carefully place the seasoned steak bites into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.

Step 5

Sear the steak bites for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they reach the desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, the internal temperature should be around 135°F (57°C). Adjust the cooking time according to your preference.

Step 6

Remove the cooked steak bites from the skillet and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess butter.

Step 7

Allow the steak bites to rest for a few minutes. This helps retain their juices and ensures maximum tenderness.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle the steak bites with fresh chopped parsley for an added touch of freshness and color.

Step 9

Serve the Garlic Butter Steak Bites hot as an appetizer or as a main course. They pair well with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
