Ingredients

Steak Bites

  • 2 pounds of steak, cut into small bite size pieces
  • ½ tablespoon avocado oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
  • 6 cloves minced garlic
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • Green onion, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the Steak: In a bowl, combine the steak bites with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes, stirring thoroughly to ensure the pieces are well coated.
  2. Sear the Steak Bites: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the avocado oil. Arrange the steak bites in a single layer without overcrowding, cooking for 3-4 minutes while stirring occasionally to brown evenly. If necessary, cook in batches. After browning, remove the steak from the pan and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Garlic Butter: Drain any excess water from the skillet. Add the butter or ghee and allow it to melt. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Combine and Finish: Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet, stirring to coat them thoroughly with the garlic butter sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to meld flavors. Remove from heat, then stir in chopped parsley. Garnish with sliced green onion and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use steak cuts like sirloin, ribeye, or filet mignon for tender bites.
  • If preferred, substitute ghee with unsalted butter for the sauce.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes based on your heat preference or omit for no spice.
  • Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the steak to achieve a nice sear and avoid steaming the meat.
  • Serve immediately after cooking to maintain tenderness and juiciness.
