Garlic Butter Steak Bites Recipe

Ingredients

Steak Bites

• 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
• 2 pounds steak, cut into small bite size pieces
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Garlic Butter Sauce

• 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
• 6 cloves minced garlic
• 1/4 cup chopped parsley
• Green onion, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine the steak bites with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir thoroughly until the steak pieces are evenly coated with the seasonings.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. Once hot, add the steak in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pieces are nicely browned. If necessary, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Remove the browned steak bites from the pan and set aside.
3. Remove any excess water from the skillet, then add the butter or ghee. Once melted and hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.
4. Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet and stir for 1-2 minutes to coat them evenly with the garlic butter sauce. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
5. Garnish the steak bites with chopped green onion and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.

Notes

• Use ghee instead of butter for a dairy-free and Whole30-compliant version.
• Red pepper flakes are optional; omit if you prefer no heat.
• Rest the steak bites briefly after cooking to allow juices to redistribute for more tenderness.
• Serve with cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables for a complete Paleo or Whole30 meal.
• If cooking a larger batch, avoid overcrowding the skillet by cooking steak bites in multiple batches for better browning.
