Steak bites ingredients:
You only need 5 ingredients to make these delicious, tender bites:
- Steak
- Butter
- Olive Oil
- Garlic
- Parsley
Best steak for steak bites:
- I like to use top sirloin in this recipe since it cooks up tender, is widely available and is affordable. You could also use tenderloin, rib eye, or strip steak.
How to make steak bites:
- Get your skillet super hot. Add olive oil and heat over high heat until a drop of water into the skillet sizzles immediately.
- Don’t crowd your skillet. I like to use my largest skillet for this recipe. If you find that you cannot fit all the steak bites in the skillet without them touching each other, you should cook them in batches. If the bites are too close together, they will steam rather than get that golden crust that we really want here.
- Add butter and garlic. Once the steak is cooked, turn the heat down to medium-low (so the garlic won’t burn) and add the butter and garlic. Stir to coat the steak bites in the butter sauce and serve with a sprinkling of parsley and the creamy mustard sauce.
Steak bites sauce:
This yummy steak bites sauce takes just four ingredients:
- Sour Cream
- Mustard
- Hot Sauce
- Garlic
But, if you want to make things even easier, you could just mix up the mustard with a bit of sour cream (or mayonnaise) and season it with salt and pepper.
What to serve with steak bites:
- Mashed Potatoes with Sour Cream
- Mashed Cauliflower
- Instant Pot Baked Potatoes
- Buttered Noodles
- Bread (to soak up that yummy sauce)
- Instant Pot Rice
- Instant Pot Quinoa
- Chilled Cucumber Soup
Wine pairings for steak:
- A big, bold hearty red wine makes a great match for these bites – Try a Cabernet, Syrah or Zinfandel.
