  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 1/2 pounds (approximately 680 grams) steak, such as strip steak, sirloin, or ribeye

Cajun seasoning blend: smoked paprika (to taste), kosher salt (to taste), garlic powder (to taste), onion powder (to taste), black pepper (to taste), dried oregano (to taste), cayenne pepper (adjustable to taste), light brown sugar (to taste), and dried thyme (to taste)

Vegetable oil for searing (amount as needed)

Unsalted butter enough to coat and flavor the steak bites

3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced or grated

Fresh parsley, minced for garnish

Instructions

1-Getting started: Getting started with Cajun Butter Steak Bites is a breeze, and this guide walks you through it all. Begin by slicing the steak into 2-inch pieces and seasoning them with the Cajun blend for that signature kick. Preheating your skillet is key, so heat it over medium-high until it’s very hot before adding oil.

2-Once the pan is ready: Once the pan is ready, sear the steak bites in batches to avoid crowding, cooking each side for about 2 minutes until they’re nicely browned. This step ensures a great crust while locking in juices. After searing, set the steak aside and lower the heat to add butter and garlic, scraping up those flavorful browned bits from the pan.

3-Return the steak to the skillet: Return the steak to the skillet and toss it in the garlic butter sauce for extra richness. Serve it up with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a fresh finish. This method takes about 30 minutes total and serves 4 to 6 people, making it ideal for a family meal or appetizer. For more tips on searing, check out our guide on quick cooking techniques.
