What Cut of Steak Works Best for Steak Bites?

Look for tender, quick-cooking cuts like sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin. These cuts sear beautifully and stay juicy in bite-sized pieces. If you’re going for budget-friendly, sirloin is your best bet without sacrificing texture or flavor. Be sure to cut the steak into even cubes for consistent cooking.

Ingredients for the Steak Bites with Garlic Butter and Parmesan

Steak: The star of the show! Choose a tender cut like sirloin, ribeye, or filet. You want juicy bites with a good sear.

Butter: Unsalted butter helps create a rich, silky garlic sauce that coats every piece perfectly.

Garlic: Fresh minced garlic adds a bold and aromatic layer to the butter sauce.

Parmesan Cheese: Grated or shredded, this brings a salty, nutty finish that melts slightly into the warm steak.

Parsley: A fresh pop of color and flavor that brightens the dish.

Salt & Pepper: Essential for seasoning and bringing out the natural beef flavor.

Olive Oil: Helps sear the steak bites to a crisp brown crust.

How To Make the Steak Bites with Garlic Butter and Parmesan

Step 1: Prep and Season

Pat your steak dry with paper towels and cut into bite-sized cubes. Season generously with salt and pepper to help form a crust during searing.

Step 2: Sear the Steak

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add steak cubes in a single layer. Avoid crowding the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

Reduce the heat to medium. In the same skillet, melt butter and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Step 4: Combine and Finish

Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss in the garlic butter. Sprinkle parmesan generously over the top and stir until just melted. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Serving and Storing Steak Bites with Garlic Butter and Parmesan

Serve these steak bites hot and sizzling, ideally straight from the skillet. If you’re prepping ahead, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan with a bit more butter to revive the sauce and keep them tender.
