Easy recipe for keto garlic butter steak bites, that are juicy, tender and ready in just 10 minutes!

Keto Garlic Butter Steak Bites (1)

In order to take this easy steak recipe over the top and make it even more delicious than it already is, you've got to have garlic butter! Garlic butter makes the best sauce to dip cook your steak in as well as dip your steak bites into once cooked!

Start with softened, salted butter. Yes salted, you need that salted butter which adds more savory flavor than unsalted butter. Nice and soft or at room temperature is what you're looking for to easily combine with the minced garlic. If using straight from the fridge you can soften a little in the microwave, but careful not to melt it.

Fresh garlic is best! Smash the cloves on a flat surface using the side of a wide blade. Peel and chop finely to a mince. Stir into the butter and combine well.

To create a perfect crust and sear on the steak, you must start with a hot pan. Drop some butter in the pan and if he melts quickly, you are ready. Add one piece of steak and if you hear that sizzle, you are good to go to add a few more pieces of steak.

DO NOT OVERCROWD your skillet or you will steam your steak and will not get a good browning or sear on the steak bites. Work in batches until you have them all browned then return to the pan.

Choose a cut of beef that fits your budget. I recommend sirloin or ribeye for pan frying.

Feel free to adjust the cooking time slightly depending on whether you like your steak rare, medium or well done. I did mine medium. Cut one in half to check! The size of the cubes will also alter the cooking time.

A cast iron skillet is the best way to get a perfectly seared steak because it heats evenly and retains it's heat well. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a stainless steel skillet. I would not recommend a nonstick skillet as you won't get that sear we want on the steak bites and non stick are highly toxic and leach chemicals into your food. But if I were you, investing in a cast iron skillet will turn you into a chef! It is worth it's price! I've created some amazing savory recipes, like my Deep Dish Cauliflower Pizza, as well as desserts like my Skillet Cookie Pie!

Mashed Cauliflower would be my first choice to serve these steak bites with. Italian Style Cole Slaw would be another good option. Sautéed Cabbage and onions would also be terrific served with these steak bites on top! You might prefer this Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Rice which is always quick and easy to throw together with your main dish!

Keto Garlic Butter Steak Bites

If you’re looking for a really good quick and easy steak recipe, these Keto Garlic Butter Steak Bites are a winner. I used sirloin steak in this recipe which is best for pan frying and is nice and tender.

These Keto Garlic Butter Steak Bites take just 10 minutes to make and are super low in carbs. I like to serve them with a nice low-carb salad, cauliflower mash, green beans or why not try them in a good keto baguette with a generous dollop of mustard?

Ingredients

GARLIC BUTTER

  • 4.5 tablespoons salted butter softened, room temp (or 65g)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

STEAK BITES

  • 2 pounds sirloin steak (or 900g/800g when trimmed)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper cracked (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped

Instructions

  • Mix the garlic and softened butter together in a bowl.

  • Trim the excess fat off the steak and dice into 1.5 inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Heat 2 tablespoon of garlic butter in a large non-stick frying pan or cast iron skillet. Add the steak in a single layer. Cook on high till browned, approx. 2 minutes. Resist the urge to turn, turn only once browned.

  • Turn until all sides are browned or cooked through to your liking, approx. another 2 minutes. Work in batches in the pan, adding garlic butter each time. I did two batches.

  • Toss through the parsley to serve.

  • Serve hot with low-carb veggies, salad or cauliflower mash.

  • Storage: Can be stored in a Tupperware in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated, but best fresh.

    Thanks, Brenda, for this recipe! Would Beef Osso Buco work well for this if it were cut into the bite-size pieces?
