Prepare tender, pan-seared steak bites coated in garlic butter and serve them with a rich, homemade garlic dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • For the Garlic Sauce:
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steak: Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth. Cover and refrigerate while cooking the steak.
  3. Sear the steak: Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams. Add the steak cubes in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (work in batches if necessary). Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned.
  4. Add garlic butter: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 cloves of the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, tossing the steak frequently, for 1-2 minutes until the butter melts and coats the steak.
  5. Finish the steak: Add the remaining 2 cloves of minced garlic during the last 30 seconds of cooking. Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent the garlic from burning.
  6. Serve: Transfer the steak bites to a serving platter. Serve hot with the prepared garlic sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the steak to come close to room temperature for about 20 minutes before searing.
  • Use high-quality butter for the best flavor in the coating.
  • If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a teaspoon of water or milk to the mixture.
