FAQ

What is the best cut of meat for steak bites?

Sirloin or ribeye work best because they are tender and have enough fat to stay juicy during a quick sear.

Can I use salted butter?

Yes, just be sure to reduce the added salt in the recipe to prevent the dish from becoming too salty.

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
  3. Place the steak bites in the pan in a single layer. Do not crowd the pan—work in batches if necessary.
  1. Sear the steak for 2–3 minutes without moving them, then flip and sear for another 1–2 minutes until browned to your preference.
  2. Reduce heat to low, add the butter and minced garlic to the skillet, and toss the steak bites for 1 minute until the butter is melted and fragrant.
  3. Remove from heat immediately, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Recipe Notes

For the best crust, ensure your steak is completely dry before seasoning. Using a heavy cast-iron skillet provides the best heat retention for a restaurant-quality sear.
