Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 pound sirloin, ribeye, or flank steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

For Cooking

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional Garnishes

  • Extra fresh parsley, chopped
  • Extra grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Trim any excess fat and cut the steak into evenly sized bite pieces. Season generously with salt, pepper, and a pinch of Italian seasoning to build baseline flavor.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, freshly minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian herbs, and chopped fresh parsley. Stir well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
  3. Sear the Steak Bites: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the steak pieces in a single layer with space between each piece. Cook about 2 minutes per side until golden crust forms while keeping the inside tender.
  4. Add Garlic Butter: Reduce heat to medium and spoon the garlic butter mixture over the steak bites. Gently toss the pieces in the pan allowing the butter to melt and coat each bite evenly. Let the butter caramelize slightly to deepen the garlic bread flavor.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with additional fresh parsley or extra Parmesan cheese as desired. Transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately for the best warmth, crunch, and garlic goodness experience.

Notes

  • Pat dry steak bites before cooking to ensure a crispy sear and avoid steaming.
  • Use room temperature butter for easier blending and even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; allow space for caramelization and a perfect crust.
  • Fresh garlic provides the brightest, most aromatic flavor—avoid pre-minced alternatives.
  • Let steak bites rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to maintain juiciness.
