Introduction
Are you ready to elevate your dinner game with a mouth-watering, flavor-packed recipe that’s sure to impress? Look no further than Garlic Butter Steak Bites! These tender, juicy bites of pure heaven are made by searing thinly sliced steak to perfection and serving it in a rich, savory garlic butter sauce. It’s the perfect combination for any occasion – whether you’re feeding a crowd or just want a quick and delicious meal for one.
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak (or other thin cut of beef), sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or thyme leaves for garnish (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Yes, you read that right – we’re going to cook these steak bites in the oven! It’s a game-changer.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika until well combined.
3. Place the sliced steak pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush both sides of the steak with the garlic butter mixture, making sure to get it all coated evenly.
4. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste over the steak. Don’t be shy – you want that flavor to pop!
5. Pop that baking sheet into the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, I like to aim for an internal temperature of around 130°F (54°C).
6. While the steak is cooking, prepare a serving dish by placing it in the microwave and heating it for 20-30 seconds. This will warm up the butter sauce to perfection.

7. Once the steak is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Slice each piece into bite-sized pieces (about 1/2 inch thick).
8. Place the cooked steak bites onto the warmed serving dish, spooning some of that divine garlic butter sauce over the top. You can also sprinkle with fresh parsley or thyme leaves for an extra touch of elegance.
Pro Tips for Success
* Make sure to slice your steak thinly and evenly so that it cooks consistently throughout.
* Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet – cook the steak in batches if necessary, as this will ensure even cooking.
* If you’re feeling fancy, serve with some crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
* This recipe is also perfect for meal prep! Simply cook the steak bites and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
