📋 Ingredient Notes

Beef steak - Look for a steak with good marbling, this will ensure you have nice and tender steak bites.
Oil - Any neutral flavored oil will work. I've used olive oil, vegetable oil, and canola oil and it's all worked well.
Unsalted butter - You can use salted butter also, however, if you use it reduce the amount of salt that you use to season your steak.
Garlic cloves - Fresh garlic cloves give this easy recipe the best flavor, however, you can also jar minced garlic or garlic powder instead.
Fresh rosemary - Look for rosemary that is still green and fragrant for the best taste.
Black pepper and salt - These basic seasonings will add a great flavor to your steak.

🥄 Instructions

Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The detailed instructions are in the recipe card below.

Pat dry the steak cubes with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.
Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat and add oil.
Once the oil is very hot, add the steak cubes and sear to brown all over turning them in all directions. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Reduce heat to medium and add butter, garlic and rosemary. Keep stirring to coat the beef with sauce and continue to cook for a minute or two.1

💡 Amira's Tips

Make sure that you cut the steak pieces into even bite-sized pieces so that they cook at the same rate.
It's important that you use a hot skillet for a beautiful sear on the outside of your steak bites. Don't rush the preheating process.
Place the steak bites in a single layer in your skillet so that they brown evenly.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the bites so that you don't overcook them.

🧺 Storage

Refrigerate - Store leftover steak bites in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

Freeze - One great thing about this recipe is that you can freeze the leftover steak for later. Store them in the freezer-safe bag or container for up to three months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.

Reheat - The best way to reheat steak is to place it in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through. You can also use the microwave, but the texture may not be as good.
