See the recipe card for full information on ingredients.
How To Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Step 1. Cut the sirloin steak into equal, bite-sized pieces.
Step 2. Marinate the steak bites with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
Step 3. Heat up a skillet and cook the marinated steak bites.
Step 4. Heat up a skillet, preferably cast iron, over high heat. Add the butter, and once it melts, add the garlic cloves and stir a few times. Then, add the steak bites.
Step 5. Stir and cook continuously, flipping, turning, and tossing the steak bites with the garlic. Add the Italian seasoning and homemade dry rub, and stir to combine well.
Step 6. As soon as the steak bites are cooked, about 3–4 minutes, add the chopped parsley and stir to combine well. Remove the skillet from the stovetop, drizzle lemon juice over the steak, and serve immediately.
Cooking Tips For Juicy And Tender Sirloin Bites
- DO NOT use minced garlic. Use whole and peeled garlic for this recipe. Minced garlic might be burned and impart a bitter taste to the juicy steak.
- Cut the sirloin steak into equal-sized cubes. This will ensure even cooking so every steak cube is juicy and tender after cooking.
- The sirloin bites cooks in 3-4 minutes on high heat. DO NOT over cook.
- Remove the skillet from the stove top as soon as the steak is cooked through. Leaving the skillet on the heat source will continue to cook the steak and turn them rubbery and dry.
- Add squirts of lemon juice before serving. Lemon juice lends a nice and citrusy flavor to the dish.
