Ingredients
– 1 pound of steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces

– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Creating these flavorful Cajun Garlic Butter Steak Bites is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Steak: Begin by cutting your steak into bite-sized pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel for a better sear.
2. Season the Steak: In a bowl, toss the steak pieces with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Ensure they are well-coated for maximum flavor.
3. Melt the Butter: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
4. Sear the Steak: Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer. Sear for about 3-4 minutes without moving them, allowing a nice crust to develop.
5. Flip and Cook: After 3-4 minutes, turn the steak bites to sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Cook to your preferred doneness, but medium-rare to medium is often ideal for steak bites.
6. Add Garlic: In the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
7. Add Remaining Butter: Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, swirling to coat the steak bites in the rich garlic butter.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped parsley over the steak bites for a touch of freshness.
9. Serve: Transfer the steak bites to a serving platter. Optional: serve with lemon wedges for a zesty kick.
