1-First Step: Prep and Mise en Place Cut 2 pounds of steak into one-inch bite-size pieces and pat them dry. Mince 6 cloves of garlic and chop 1/4 cup of parsley. Measure out 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes if using. If substituting with chicken, cut boneless thighs into similar pieces for even cooking.

2-Second Step: Season the Steak Season the steak pieces with 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, stirring to coat evenly. This step ensures every bite of your Garlic Butter Steak Bites is full of flavor right from the start.

3-Third Step: Preheat the Pan Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil. Wait until it’s hot so the steak sizzles when added, which helps with browning.

4-Fourth Step: Sear the Steak Place the steak in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes until browned, stirring occasionally. Cook in batches if needed to avoid crowding, then remove from the pan. For tips on steak cuts, see this discussion on best cuts of steak.

5-Fifth Step: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce Remove excess water from the skillet, add 2 tablespoons butter or ghee, and sauté 6 cloves minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.

6-Sixth Step: Combine and Finish Return the steak to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat with the sauce. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped parsley, garnish with green onion, and serve right away.
