Here’s a delicious and easy recipe for Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Asparagus—perfect for a quick dinner that’s low-carb, flavorful, and satisfying.
Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
For the Steak Bites
- 1 lb (450 g) steak (sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin), cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
For the Asparagus
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Asparagus
- Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add asparagus, and sauté 3–5 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Remove and set aside.
2. Cook the Steak Bites
- Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add steak cubes in a single layer—do not overcrowd the pan.
- Sear 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking.
- Lower heat, add butter, garlic, and herbs. Toss steak bites in the garlic butter for 1–2 minutes.
3. Combine and Serve
- Add the asparagus back to the skillet, toss briefly with steak and garlic butter.
- Serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon.
Tips
- Use a cast-iron skillet if possible for better searing.
- Let steak sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before cooking for even cooking.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine or balsamic vinegar to the pan after searing.
