How to Prepare Juicy Garlic Butter Steak Bites

The key to this recipe is a really hot pan so that you get a nice crust on your meat. A cast iron skillet is the most preferred as it can withstand high temperatures. Since butter can burn at high heat, start by browning the food with a little frying oil before adding butter for flavor. The garlic is added at the very end to prevent burning so that the steak just needs to simmer for a few minutes. For color and more flavor, garnish the garlic butter bites with a little coriander.'

Tips for making steak bites

Like any steak, the secret to great steak bites is to sear the meat on a hot pan or skillet.

Sear the steak bites in batches to avoid them boiling over instead of frying and to get a lovely crust on the edges. This also allows for the steaks to be incredibly moist, soft, and well done on the inside.

Sear your steak bites in oil to prevent the butter from burning right away. You can use coconut, vegetable, or canola oil. The butter garlic sauce is only made by adding butter at the last end.

For great results, use a cast iron skillet or a high-quality nonstick pan that doesn't warp at high temperatures if you don't have cast iron.

Keep checking your steak bites occasionally to prevent them from scorching or overcooking and to allow each side to cook well.
