Tender and juicy Cajun Garlic Butter Steak Bites bursting with bold spices and rich garlic butter flavor, perfect for a quick meal or party appetizer that delivers irresistible taste with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Seasoning

  • 1 lb steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Sauce and Garnish

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prep the Steak: Cut the steak into evenly sized bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking. Pat dry to remove excess moisture for a better sear, then toss with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper to infuse the meat with bold spices.
  2. Sear the Steak Bites: Heat olive oil in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a deep brown crust forms, locking in juices.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: Lower the heat, add butter and minced garlic to the pan, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Let the butter melt and coat the steak bites thoroughly, absorbing the rich garlic flavor.
  4. Finish and Garnish: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the steak bites for color and freshness. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot off the stove for maximum flavor.

Notes

  • Use a hot pan to ensure a perfect sear and caramelization on the steak bites.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed to keep pieces crisp and evenly browned.
  • Fresh garlic is key — it adds a fragrant aroma that pre-minced garlic can’t match.
  • Let the steak bites rest briefly after cooking to retain juiciness.
  • Choose tender cuts like sirloin or ribeye for quick but flavorful bites.
