SIMPLE STEAK BITES WITH GARLIC BUTTER

Ingredients:

1 ½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided

3 tbsp olive oil

6 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Season the Steak:

In a large bowl, toss the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (if using).

2. Cook the Steak Bites:

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the steak bites in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic Butter:

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add 4 tbsp of butter.

Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Combine and Serve:

Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter for 1-2 minutes.

Garnish with chopped parsley.

5. Serve:

Serve hot with a side of rice, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.

Tips:

Extra Flavor: Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the garlic butter for more depth.

Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.

Cheesy Finish: Top with grated Parmesan just before serving for a cheesy twist.
