Instructions:
Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add the neutral oil. Once the oil is hot, add the beef cubes in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the steak bites for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they're browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak bites from the pan and set them aside.
In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and diced shallots. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is lightly golden and fragrant.
Return the seared steak bites to the pan, tossing them in the garlic butter mixture to warm through for an additional minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped parsley before serving.
Extra Tips:
To achieve the best results when cooking Garlic Butter Steak Bites, verify that your steak is at room temperature before searing. This helps the meat cook evenly.
Additionally, avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can prevent proper browning and result in steaming rather than searing. If you're looking for a simpler version, you can easily substitute the tenderloin with sirloin and add just olive oil, garlic, and parsley for a quick and satisfying meal.
