Description
These Cajun Garlic Steak Bites are a quick and easy skillet dish featuring tender sirloin steak coated in a bold, smoky Cajun seasoning and finished with garlic butter. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or party appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- 1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss the steak with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- 2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer (work in batches if needed) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- 3. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- 4. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter. Cook for 1 minute longer to reheat.
- 5. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
For best results, use a cast iron skillet and do not overcrowd the pan to ensure a good sear. Adjust Cajun seasoning to taste if you prefer less heat.
