Garlic Butter Steak Bites
This quick steak recipe is garlicky, herby, and buttery and can be served several ways!
A few years ago, my family went through a phase of eating steak every other week or so. This is pretty rare for us as steak for 5 people can get expensive but we were on one. We had several recipes we were cycling through and this was one of them. It’s just a slightly different way to enjoy a sirloin steak and it’s a bit more versatile as you can serve it over a bed of rice or quinoa, pasta, or mashed potatoes. In my pic, you can see my mashed potatoes off to the side. I ended up combining the two and it was a really good pairing. The garlic herb butter is so dang good with the steak. This also was a really nice recipe for my youngest who had just figured out steak was delicious but was also trying to be independent as it was precut into bite-size pieces!
