# Instructions:
01 -
Cut 1 1/2 lbs boneless sirloin steak into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Season generously with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. This prepares your Garlic Butter Steak Bites: Quick & Low-Carb Dinner for searing.
02 -
Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Ensure the pan is hot to achieve a good sear on your steak bites.
03 -
Add half of the seasoned steak cubes to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side until beautifully browned. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure a proper crust. Remove and set aside, then repeat with the remaining steak.
04 -
Reduce heat to medium. Add 1/2 cup unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in 6 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 tsp dried Italian seasoning, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
05 -
Stir in 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/4 tsp smoked paprika into the butter mixture. Return all seared steak bites to the skillet. Toss well to coat every piece in the rich garlic butter sauce. This completes your Garlic Butter Steak Bites: Quick & Low-Carb Dinner.
06 -
Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the steak bites are heated through and thoroughly coated in the sauce. Remove from heat. Garnish generously with 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley. Serve your delicious Garlic Butter Steak Bites: Quick & Low-Carb Dinner immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Searing the steak in batches is crucial for a beautiful crust. Overcrowding lowers the pan temperature, steaming the meat instead of searing it, resulting in less flavorful bites.
02 -
Storage & Reheating: Store leftover Garlic Butter Steak Bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium-low heat to avoid overcooking the steak.
03 -
Serving Suggestions: These low-carb steak bites are fantastic with roasted asparagus, steamed green beans, cauliflower rice, or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
04 -
Spice It Up: For an extra kick, increase the red pepper flakes to 1/4 or 1/2 teaspoon. You can also add a splash of hot sauce with the Worcestershire for more heat.
