Make Easy Garlic Butter Steak Bites for 2 in only a few minutes! Use tri-tip or other steak, pan-sear, then cover with garlic butter sauce.
Cut meat into bite-sized pieces. Trim fat from edges. Pat steak dry with paper towels to absorb moisture. Season meat with salt and pepper.
Heat a heavy skillet on High temp. until very hot, but not smoking (I use cast iron). Add olive oil, swirling to coat bottom of skillet; heat this in the skillet. Place steak bites into hot oil in single layer. Once you put them in the skillet, don't move them. You want high heat and hot oil to crisp/brown steak bites quickly.
Let steak bites cook, without moving them, for 2-3 minutes until well browned on bottom. Turn each piece to the other side. Continue to cook, making sure all sides are well browned. **Amount of time it cooks will depend on the size of the steak bites, and how you enjoy your steak. If you typically enjoy a MEDIUM steak, then cook steak bites for about 5-6 minutes total time. RARE? About 4 minutes total time. MEDIUM-RARE? About 5 minutes total. Just keep an eye on the steak bites to ensure they are cooked to your personal preference.
When the steak bites reach desired doneness, quickly remove them from skillet to a plate or bowl, Cover to keep warm. Turn heat down to medium, and immediately add butter to the same hot skillet. When butter has melted, add garlic; cook for only 30-60 seconds, stirring often so garlic doesn't burn..
Put steak bites back into skillet; toss to coat with garlic butter. Cook only until reheated, then it's ready to serve. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot!
