Ingredients
  

Steak Bites
  • About 1½ pounds ribeye cut into 1 to 1½-inch cubes, room temperature and patted dry
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Butter Sauce
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 4 to 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons chives minced or dried
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Red pepper flakes to taste
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Let the steak sit out for about 20 to 30 minutes so it’s not fridge-cold. Pat it dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high and add the oil. Once hot, place the steak in a single layer and sear for about 1 to 2 minutes per side until browned on the outside but still a little pink inside. Work in batches if needed. Remove and set aside.
  3. Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same skillet and let it melt, scraping up all the flavorful bits from the bottom.
  4. Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  5. Stir in parsley, chives, Worcestershire, Dijon, lemon juice, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust.
  6. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss in the butter sauce for about 1 minute until coated and cooked to your liking.
  7. Spoon extra sauce over everything and serve immediately.

Notes

This is the kind of food that makes you stand at the stove eating “just one more piece” about twelve times.
It’s messy, buttery, loud, and totally unapologetic. And honestly, that’s when cooking is the most fun.
