Make tender, flavorful steak bites cooked in garlic butter and serve them with a rich, creamy garlic dipping sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • For the Sauce:
  • 0.5 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon water (or more, for thinning)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the steak bites to the hot skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Work in batches if necessary. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic, rosemary sprigs, and thyme. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  5. Return the seared steak bites to the skillet. Toss them in the garlic butter mixture for 1-2 minutes until coated and heated through. Remove the rosemary sprigs before serving.
  6. While the steak finishes, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add water one teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired dipping consistency.
  7. Serve the garlic butter steak bites immediately with the creamy garlic sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • For the best sear, make sure your skillet is very hot before adding the steak. Do not move the steak until a crust forms.
  • Use a high-quality steak cut for the most tender results.
  • If you prefer a thinner pan sauce instead of a creamy dip, skip the sauce ingredients and deglaze the pan with 1/4 cup of beef broth after removing the steak, scraping up the browned bits.
