Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes for perfect garlic steak bites
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, for rich butter steak bites
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced (fresh garlic is key for best garlic butter steak bites)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: red chili flakes, lemon wedges, chopped parsley for flavorful garlic butter steak pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss broccoli florets with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 15–18 minutes, until tender and slightly crispy.
  2. While broccoli roasts, pat your sirloin or ribeye steak cubes completely dry with paper towels. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet (cast-iron works best for pan-seared steak bites) over high heat until shimmering.
  4. Add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until a beautiful brown crust forms. Remove the seared steak pieces to a plate.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the unsalted butter to the hot skillet, allowing it to melt and foam.
  6. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute, swirling the pan, until fragrant and golden. Avoid browning the garlic. This creates your delicious garlic butter sauce.
  7. Return all the steak bites, along with any accumulated juices, to the skillet. Toss everything together, ensuring each piece of quick garlic butter steak is coated in the glorious garlic butter sauce. Heat through for another minute.
  8. Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the tender garlic butter steak bites hot with the roasted broccoli. Garnish with red chili flakes, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, or chopped parsley for an extra pop of flavor. This makes an excellent garlic butter steak appetizer or a complete dinner.

Notes

  • For the best garlic butter steak bites, choose a steak that’s 1 to 1.5 inches thick for even cubing.
  • Patting the steak dry is crucial for a good sear and prevents steaming.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the steak; cook in batches for a fierce, fast sear.
  • Freshly minced garlic is highly recommended for the best flavor in your garlic butter beef bites.
  • Consider serving these simple garlic butter steak bites for dinner with potatoes or other roasted vegetables.
