Ingredients Notes
- Steak—We used sirloin steak cut into small squares. Sirloin works best for these bites. However, you can also use strip steak, flank steak, chuck, or filet.
- Oil – Olive oil is best for this recipe.
- Salt & pepper – You can adjust to your preference but I used 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of cracked black pepper.
- Butter—I typically use unsalted butter in most of my recipes. If you only have salted butter, you will want to reduce the additional salt you add to the recipe.
- Garlic – You can use garlic cloves, but many times, I will make it easier by buying the minced garlic in the jar (I know it is cheating!)
- Italian Seasoning—pick your favorite brand—they are all pretty delicious! Parsley—go fresh and finely chop it.
How to make Garlic Butter Steak Bites
- Toss the cubed steak in the salt and pepper.
- In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over high heat and place a single layer of steak in the frying pan.
- Fry steak in batches for about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same frying pan, add butter, garlic, and Italian seasoning over medium-high heat. Cook for about 2 minutes.
- Pour the butter mixture over the steak bites and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle parsley over the top to garnish and serve!
Tips & Variations
- You don’t want to add all of the steak to your frying pan all at once. Work in batches so that you cook single layers of steak, and continue this until all of the steak is cooked.
- You can cook the steak to your preferred temperature. I like my steak bites more well-done, but my husband prefers them medium. I usually cook one batch well done for me and one batch medium for him.
- To make cleanup super easy, I recommend using the same frying pan to cook your steak and make the butter mixture. This means there are only a couple of dishes to clean up!
- If you like things with a kick, try sprinkling them with red pepper flakes.
Serving Suggestions
- As an appetizer: They are the perfect flavorful and light snack to begin any meal. Just throw them on a platter and stick some toothpicks in each one. They are the perfect finger food!
- As a protein: You could serve them as protein on a hearty salad (this is my favorite!)
- As the main course for a meal: With a side such as mashed potatoes or over rice.
Proper Storage
Store your bites in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Be sure to pour all of the garlic butter in with the leftovers as well.
It’s best to store in a container that can be reheated. That way, you can simply place the entire container in the microwave to reheat it and make sure you get all of the delicious garlic butter as well.

This recipe is absolutely delicious! Definately a keeper! Thank-you for sharing.
I used sirloin steak and jarred minced garlic. I also roasted some small potatoes in the oven and tossed them in with the steak when I added the butter garlic. This recipe was very good and it was fast. I also cooked the steak on the eye of my grill so that I could get my pan flaming hot so not to smoke my kitchen up as I am good at that too! Thank you for the recipe will be one that I turn to often
