Description

Butter Steak Bites are succulent, bite-sized pieces of ribeye steak cooked to perfection in a hot cast-iron skillet and infused with fragrant rosemary, thyme, garlic, and rich butter. This quick and easy recipe delivers tender, flavorful steak morsels perfect for a delicious appetizer or main dish in just 12 minutes.

Ingredients

Steak

  • 2 lb ribeye steak

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp rosemary (freshly chopped)
  • 1/2 tbsp thyme (freshly chopped)
  • 4 garlic cloves (pressed or crushed)

Cooking Fats

  • 3 tbsp avocado oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the steak: Cut the ribeye steak into 1-inch chunks to ensure even cooking and bite-sized pieces for serving.
  2. Season the steak: Generously season the steak chunks with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, coating all sides evenly for balanced flavor.
  3. Heat the skillet and sear: Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add 3 tablespoons of avocado oil, then carefully add the steak bites. Stir and sear them for 2 to 3 minutes, or until a flavorful crust forms. If your skillet is crowded, cook in batches to avoid steaming.
  4. Add butter and herbs: Reduce heat slightly and add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, along with freshly chopped rosemary, thyme, and crushed garlic cloves to the skillet.
  5. Baste the steak bites: Using a spoon, continually baste the steak chunks with the melted herb and garlic butter for about 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld and coat the steak evenly. Once done, remove from heat and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a cast-iron skillet for best heat retention and searing results.
  • Make sure the skillet is very hot before adding the oil and steak for a good sear.
  • Cut the steak evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the meat.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste and feel free to add other herbs like parsley for variation.
