🥩 Ingredients
- 1 kg beef, cut into bite-sized thin cubes
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 6 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- Salt to taste
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup milk (for sauce)
- 1 tbsp cornflour (for coating before frying)
👩🍳 How to Cook Juicy Garlic Butter Steak Bites
Step 1: Marinate the Steak
Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. In a bowl, mix black pepper, soy sauce, sesame oil, baking soda, and garlic powder. Add the beef cubes and marinate for at least 1 hour for maximum flavor.
Step 2: Fry the Steak
Before frying, mix 1 tbsp cornflour into the marinated meat — this helps the steak bites stay crispy. Heat olive oil or any cooking oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Fry in small batches, searing each side for about 2 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.
Step 3: Make Garlic Butter Sauce
In the same pan, melt unsalted butter. Add chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in a pinch of onion powder, chicken powder (optional), and red chili flakes for extra spice. Return the fried steak bites to the pan and toss well in the garlic butter.
Pour in milk and season with salt. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens slightly. Finish by sprinkling fresh parsley on top.
