    This garlic butter steak bites recipe can be made with several different types of meat.  This time I used a tri-tip steak in my steak bites.  You can make sirloin steak bites with garlic butter, you can use tri-tip,  or filet minion for this butter and garlic steak bites recipe. You can use pretty much any kind of steak for this recipe.

    How to make the best steak bites recipe:

    There are a few things you need to keep in mind for this recipe. 

    • The first thing you need to remember when making butter garlic steak bites is to cut your meat up into even pieces.  This will ensure you have all the meat cooked to the same temperature. (about ¾" pieces work great, and make a nice bite-sized piece of meat) 
    • Only add 1 Tablespoon of oil to your pan.  If you add too much oil, the meat won't sear fast enough.  It will become foamy in the pan as it cooks and you won't get that dark caramelization on your meat. 
    • Sear the meat on a high/med heat.  It needs to sizzle when you add the meat.  
    •  Don't turn the meat until the meat is caramelized. 
    • Of course, freshly minced garlic is best but if you're in a time crunch, the jarred minced garlic works great too.
    • Cook only enough meat so there is only a single layer of meat in the pan.  This will ensure all pieces of meat get cooked evenly.  
    • Use a cast iron or non-stick skillet for the best cooked meat coloring.

    Servings 6 people
    Calories 294kcal

    Ingredients

    • 24 oz Steak tri-tip, sirloin, filet minion, just about any kind of steak will do (cut into ¾" pieces)
    • 2 tablespoons Garlic minced
    • 1 Tablespoon Avocado Oil
    • 2 Tablespoons Butter
    • 1 teaspoon parsley minced
    • 1 teaspoon pepper or to taste
    • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste

    Instructions

    • Cut your meat into ¾", bite-sized pieces. 
    • In a large skillet, turn the heat on to med/high and wait for the pan to get hot.  Add the Tablespoon of oil and then the cut up meat.  Spread the meat on to the bottom of the pan.  All the pieces of meat should be touching the bottom of the pan. (This will ensure all the meat gets cooked evenly.
    • Add the minced garlic, salt and pepper.  
    • Using tongs, lift one piece of the meat.  If it is caramel colored, it's time to turn all the pieces of meat.  It should only take ~2-3 minutes on each side. Stir the steak bites. Salt and pepper again to your preference.   You will want to cook the steak bites on a high heat so you get the caramel color without overcooking the meat.  
    • Just before your steak bites are finished cooking, add the butter and the parsley.  The butter will lift the caramel flavoring off the bottom of the skillet and give your steak a little bit of a juicy sauce.  Enjoy!
