Ingredients used

How to make garlic butter steak bites
If you want perfectly tender steak or steak bites, remember to take the steak out of the fridge at least half an hour before you cook it. It cooks evenly if it's at room temperature, ensuring that the heat is distributed perfectly.
- cut the steak into bite-size pieces, season with salt and pepper and set aside
- heat up the oil in a large frying pan, and fry the beef in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through (or medium rare if you like them like that)
Never overcrowd the pan, we want each bite to be browned nicely. Depending on the size of your frying pan, you should be able to fry the bites in two batches.
- when the steak bites are done, remove from the pan and set aside
- melt the butter, add the minced garlic (or garlic paste) and fry gently for 20 seconds or so for the garlic to release its flavour
- add the steak bites back to the pan, give a good stir, and garnish with fresh parsley
What to serve with steak bites
Depending on your lifestyle or food preference, you can either go for:
- a low carb side dish: zoodles (zucchini noodles) are usually a great option, a good old salad like Cucumber Tomato Avocado Feta Salad, which is filling and delicious, sauteed green beans, or ratatouille tian. My Cheesy Ham Broccoli Casserole is absolutely delicious.
- carbs: roast potatoes are always a great choice, mashed potatoes, some potato wedges or some smashed potatoes. Other filling salads that go well are: Chickpea Tabbouleh or Mediterranean Chickpea Salad.
So much to choose from, so do give this dish a good, the steak bites are delish!
