Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Creamy Sauce

Tender steak bites coated in rich garlic butter and a luscious creamy sauce, perfect for a quick 15-minute dinner.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb (450g) sirloin steak or ribeye, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Steak. Pat the steak pieces thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
Step 2: Sear the Steak Bites. In a large skillet (cast iron works best), heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer. Add the steak bites in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the seared steak bites from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the unsalted butter and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4: Prepare the Creamy Sauce. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly to combine with the garlic butter. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens. Stir in the Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce, then season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Combine Steak with Sauce. Return the seared steak bites to the skillet, tossing them gently in the creamy sauce until they are thoroughly coated and heated through (about 1-2 minutes).
Step 6: Serve. Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately over your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, a splash of dry red wine can be added to the pan after sautéing the garlic, allowing it to reduce before adding the cream.
