🥩 QUICK GARLIC BUTTER STEAK BITES 🧄

📱 OVERVIEW

  • Total Time: 15 Minutes

  • Servings: 2 People

🛠️ THE KIT

  • 🍳 1 Large frying pan (Cast iron or heavy metal)

  • 🥣 1 Medium mixing bowl

  • 🛹 1 Cutting board & Small knife

  • 🥄 1 Spatula or wooden spoon

  • 🧤 1 Oven mitt

🛒 THE INGREDIENTS

The Seasoned Beef

  • 🥩 Halal Steak 500g (Sirloin or Ribeye, 1-inch cubes)

  • 🧂 Salt & Black pepper 1 teaspoon (mixed)

  • 🧄 Garlic powder 1 teaspoon

  • 🏺 Cooking Oil 2 tablespoons (Avocado or Grapeseed)

The Garlic Butter Glaze

  • 🧈 Butter 3 tablespoons

  • 🧄 Garlic cloves 4 (finely chopped)

  • 🧅 Shallots 2 small (finely chopped)

  • 🌿 Fresh parsley 1 handful (chopped)

👨‍🍳 THE METHOD

1. The Prep (0–5 Mins)

  1. 🥣 Season: In the Mixing bowl, toss the Steak cubes with Salt, Pepper, and Garlic powder until evenly coated.

  2. 🔥 Heat: Add Oil to the Frying pan over High heat. Wait 2 Minutes until the oil is shimmering and slightly smoking.

2. The High-Heat Sear (5–8 Mins)

  1. 🥩 Sear: Carefully place the steak in a single layer. Let it sit undisturbed for 2 Minutes to develop a dark brown crust.

  2. 🔄 Finish Meat: Stir and cook for 1 Minute more. Move the steak onto a clean plate immediately.

3. The Butter Glaze (8–15 Mins)

  1. 🌡️ Cool Down: Turn the heat to Medium.

  2. 🧅 Aromatics: Add Shallots to the pan juices. Sauté for 1 Minute until soft.

  3. 🧈 Infuse: Add Butter and Chopped garlic. Stir for 1 Minute until the butter is foamy and smells fragrant.

  4. 🔄 Toss: Return the Steak bites to the pan. Toss for 30 Seconds to coat in the garlic butter.

  5. 🌿 Finish: Top with Parsley and turn the stove Off.

🛡️ SAFETY FIRST

  • 🔥 High Heat: Never leave the stove unattended while searing; the oil can reach its flash point quickly.

  • 🥩 Sizzle Zone: Use your Oven mitt when stirring. Steak cubes often "pop" and splatter hot oil when they hit the pan.

  • 🧄 Garlic Watch: If the chopped garlic turns dark brown, it’s burnt and bitter. If the pan is too hot, pull it off the burner for 30 seconds before adding the butter.
