Savor the rich flavors of Cowboy Butter Steak Bites, a quick and easy dish featuring tender steak pieces seared to perfection and tossed in a luscious homemade cowboy butter sauce.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak Bites

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound steak, cut into 1-inch pieces (top sirloin or ribeye recommended)

Cowboy Butter

  • 1 recipe cowboy butter (divided)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil: Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the extra virgin olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until it is hot and shimmering, indicating it’s ready for cooking.
  2. Cook steak: Add the steak bites in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the steak for 1½ to 2 minutes without moving to develop a nice brown crust. Flip the steak bites and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes to reach desired doneness.
  3. Reduce heat: Lower the heat to medium to prepare for adding the cowboy butter without burning it.
  4. Add cowboy butter and toss: Add half of the cowboy butter directly to the skillet with the steak bites. Toss the steak pieces so they are evenly coated in the melted butter sauce. Cook for an additional 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Melt remaining cowboy butter: While serving, melt the remaining cowboy butter separately in the microwave. Serve it on the side as a dipping sauce or drizzled over the steak bites for extra richness.

Notes

  • Use top sirloin or ribeye steak for the best flavor and tenderness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing steak to ensure a good crust.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your preferred steak doneness.
  • Cowboy butter can be prepared ahead of time and stored refrigerated.
  • Serve with crusty bread or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
