Sometimes you just want some steak, right? And there are some of us who can be a bit intimidated with making a perfectly cooked steak. Garlic Butter Steak Bites to the rescue!

Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¾ pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ medium green bell pepper, stemmed and seeded and chopped
- 2 medium garlic cloves, chopped
- chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Season the steak with salt and pepper on all sides, and cook the steak pieces in the skillet in an even layer, undisturbed, for 2 to 4 minutes, to get a good sear on the steak. Stir and brown each side, being careful not to overcook. Remove the steak bites to a plate to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Toss in the bell pepper and cook for about 2 minutes, until the bell pepper is lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Return the steak to the skillet and toss to coat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve.
Notes
- For the best sear, a cast-iron skillet is recommended. This can be done over high heat, but you'll need to use a little oil with a high smoke point like avocado oil (butter can burn). If searing in oil, you can add more butter for the desired flavor when cooking the vegetables.
