One-Pan Garlic Herb Steak Bites (Printable)

Easy steak bites cooked with garlic and herbs in one pan for a fresh, flavorful main dish.

# What You Need:

→ Steak & Marinade

01 - 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
04 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
05 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Aromatics & Fresh Herbs

06 - 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
07 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
08 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
09 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

→ Optional Garnish

10 - Lemon wedges, for serving

# Directions:

01 - In a mixing bowl, combine steak cubes with olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Toss to evenly coat and allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
02 - Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat until hot.
03 - Arrange steak cubes in a single layer. Sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, then turn and cook an additional 2 minutes until golden brown and just cooked through. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
04 - Reduce heat to medium. Push steak bites to the side of the pan. Add butter and minced garlic to the empty section. Stir continuously until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
05 - Toss steak bites with garlic butter, parsley, and thyme. Mix thoroughly so meat is evenly glazed.
06 - Transfer steak bites to a serving dish. Garnish with lemon wedges if desired and serve immediately.
