Description
Quick and flavorful garlic butter steak bites made with tender ribeye, seared to perfection, and tossed in a rich garlic butter sauce—perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch pieces (trim excess fat)
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2–3 tablespoons butter (or ghee)
- 2–3 teaspoons garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Cut ribeye steak into 1-inch pieces and pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
- Sear steak pieces on both sides for 30–60 seconds until a crust forms. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if needed. Remove steak and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Let the butter melt and garlic become fragrant.
- Return steak bites to the skillet with any juices. Toss to coat in garlic butter and cook to desired doneness.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
- Use ghee instead of butter for Whole30 or paleo versions.
- Top sirloin or New York strip steak are good alternatives to ribeye.
- For extra flavor, add red wine or red pepper flakes.
