Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites:
- 1½ pounds sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Garlic Butter Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Steak Bites: Pat steak bites dry with paper towels. Toss steak with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Sear Steak Bites: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak bites in a single layer for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove from skillet and set aside.

- Serve: Garnish with parsley if desired and serve immediately, with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
