This garlic butter beef bites recipe transforms ordinary steak into something extraordinary with minimal effort. The tender beef cubes sizzle in a rich garlic butter sauce before being served over cloud-like mashed potatoes for a meal that feels restaurant-worthy but comes together quickly in your own kitchen.
I created this recipe during a particularly busy week when I needed something impressive without hours in the kitchen. Now it has become our Sunday dinner tradition when we want something special without the fuss.
Ingredients
- Beef steak: 1 lb preferably ribeye or sirloin for the perfect balance of tenderness and flavor. Look for good marbling which ensures juiciness
- Olive oil: 2 tbsp provides the high heat cooking base without burning like butter would
- Butter: 3 tbsp unsalted so you can control the seasoning. Use European style for extra richness
- Garlic: 4 cloves freshly minced for that aromatic punch you simply cannot get from pre packaged
- Salt and pepper: the foundation of proper seasoning that enhances the beef’s natural flavors
- Red pepper flakes: optional but adds a gentle warmth that complements the richness
- Worcestershire sauce: provides umami depth that makes the beef taste more beefy
- Potatoes: 4 large Yukon Gold or Russet work best for mashing. Choose similar sized pieces for even cooking
- Milk or cream: adds luxurious texture to the potatoes. Full fat versions create the silkiest result
