Savor perfectly seared steak bites coated in rich, flavorful cowboy butter, a savory blend of herbs and spices. This quick and easy recipe delivers tender, juicy steak pieces with a luscious buttery glaze that’s perfect for dipping or drizzling, making it an ideal appetizer or main dish for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Steak Bites

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

Cowboy Butter

  • 1 recipe cowboy butter, divided (typically includes butter, garlic, herbs, and spices)

Instructions

  1. Heat oil and cook steak: In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil until hot and shimmering. Add the steak bites in a single layer, working in batches if necessary, and sear without moving for 1 ½ to 2 minutes.
  2. Flip steak bites: Turn the steak pieces over and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the steak reaches your desired doneness.
  3. Reduce heat and add cowboy butter: Lower the heat to medium and add half of the cowboy butter directly to the skillet. Toss the steak bites to coat them evenly with the butter.
  4. Glaze the steak: Cook the coated steak bites for 1 more minute, allowing the butter to melt and the steak to be beautifully glazed.
  5. Serve with cowboy butter: Melt the remaining cowboy butter in the microwave and serve it on the side for dipping or drizzling as desired.

Notes

  • Use top sirloin or ribeye for tender, flavorful bites.
  • Cook steak in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and to ensure proper searing.
  • Adjust cooking time based on preferred steak doneness.
  • Cowboy butter can be prepared ahead and stored refrigerated.
  • Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
