How to Cook Steak for Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Here’s the step-by-step instructions for making garlic steak bites:

1. Pat steaks dry and cut into bite size pieces. Season generously with salt and pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Once heated, add steak in a single layer (you may have to cook them in batches). Cook for about 2 minutes without stirring and then give them a stir and cook for a couple minutes more, until browned on all sides and done to your liking. Remove from skillet to a serving dish. If cooking in batches add a little more olive oil to the pan before the next batch.
3. Reduce heat to medium and add garlic butter. Allow to melt and then pour over steak bites.
4. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional) and serve with steak fries.
