Ingredients

  • 1 lb sirloin steak cut into small cubes
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • salt and ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter or ghee if you're doing Whole30.
  • 1 tbsp garlic clove minced

Instructions

  • In a glass bowl, add steak bites, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper. Mix everything well.
  • Add olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once the pan is hot, place the steak bites in the skillet in a single layer (if necessary work in batches). Don’t overload your skillet.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add butter and garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 1 minutes or until the butter is totally melted and the garlic is cooked.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and coat the meat in the sauce.
  • Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve.

Notes

  • I like using a cast-iron skillet to make these steak bites as it gives the steak a nice sear.
  • For the best sear, you need to wait for the skillet to be hot before adding the beef to the pan.
  • Bring the beef to room temperature before you start cooking so it cooks evenly.
  • To store: Store the garlic butter steak bites in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
  • To reheat: Reheat the steak bites in the microwave or stovetop.
  • To freeze: You can freeze the cooked steak bites in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
