Garlic butter steak bites are the 15-minute dinner that feels fancy. Tender, seared steak cubes. Rich garlic butter sauce. Fresh herbs. Serve over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread. Weeknight dinner elevated.
Season Steak
Pat steak cubes dry. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Sear Steak
Heat olive oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add steak cubes in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Sear 2-3 minutes without moving until a crust forms. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more for medium-rare. Remove steak to a plate.
Make Garlic Butter Sauce
Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 2 tbsp butter and garlic. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in thyme and Worcestershire sauce.
Return steak to the skillet. Toss to coat in the sauce. Cook 1 minute to warm through. Sprinkle with parsley.
Serve
Serve immediately with lemon wedges if desired. Over rice, pasta, or straight from the skillet. Juicy, buttery, 15-minute perfection.

Storage Notes
Best fresh. Steak bites are best eaten immediately. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 2 days. Reheat in a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes (avoid microwave — steak gets tough). Not freezer-friendly.
