Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 4 servings
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak pieces dry with paper towels. Season them evenly with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
  3. Add the steak pieces in a single layer. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes without moving them, then turn and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until browned on the outside and cooked to your preferred doneness. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
  4. Transfer the cooked steak bites to a plate and reduce the heat to medium.
  5. Add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  6. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them with the garlic butter.
  7. Add the dried parsley and lemon juice. Cook for another 30 to 60 seconds, tossing to coat the steak evenly.
  8. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  9. Serve immediately with your preferred side dish.

Final Thoughts

These garlic butter steak bites are quick to prepare and packed with savory flavor. Browning the steak over high heat creates a flavorful exterior, while the garlic butter adds richness and a fresh touch of lemon brings everything together.
