Honey Garlic Butter Steak Bites
20 minutes, one skillet, gone in five. 😂 These Honey Garlic Butter Steak Bites are seared golden and tossed in a sticky garlic-butter glaze.
Cubes of sirloin get seared hot and fast, then butter, garlic, honey and soy sauce cook down into a glaze in the same pan.
Serve them over rice or with crusty bread to soak up every drop.

How to Make It
Pat the steak cubes dry and season them with salt and pepper. Sear them in hot olive oil in a single layer, working in batches so they brown instead of steaming, and move them to a plate. Turn the heat down, melt the butter, and cook the garlic for a few seconds. Stir in the honey and soy sauce and let it bubble until it thickens a little. Put the steak back in, toss it in the glaze, sprinkle with parsley, and serve it over rice or with crusty bread.
Tips for the Best Honey Garlic Butter Steak Bites
- Pat the steak dry. Dry steak sears instead of steaming.
- Use high heat. Get the skillet hot before the steak goes in.
- Work in batches. Keep the steak in a single layer so it browns.
- Don’t burn the garlic. 30 seconds over medium heat is all it needs.
- Toss at the end. Put the steak back in just to coat it in the glaze.
Medium-rare or well-done? This one might start a fight in the comments. 😅
