🥩 Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Roasted Veggies

This dish combines tender steak bites cooked in savory garlic butter and a medley of roasted veggies. Perfect for a cozy dinner or special occasion!

⭐ Ingredients

For the Steak Bites:

• 1 lb (450g) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon work great), cut into bite-sized cubes

• 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing)

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• 2 tbsp butter

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary (or thyme), chopped (or 1 tsp dried)

• 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

For the Roasted Veggies:

• 1 cup baby potatoes, halved (or regular potatoes, cubed)

• 1 cup carrots, cut into bite-sized pieces

• 1 cup bell peppers, chopped (any color)

• 1 zucchini, chopped

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Salt & pepper, to taste

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning

• ½ tsp paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)

🔪 Instructions

1. Roast the Veggies

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Place the potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini on a baking sheet.

3. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and toss with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and paprika.

4. Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through.

2. Prepare the Steak Bites

1. While the veggies are roasting, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil.

2. Season steak cubes generously with salt and pepper.

3. Once the skillet is hot, add the steak bites in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches).

4. Sear the steak for about 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness (medium-rare to medium works best for tender bites).

5. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

1. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter.

2. Once melted, add the minced garlic and rosemary (or thyme). Sauté for 1–2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and golden, being careful not to burn it.

3. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat them in the garlic butter sauce.

4. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, allowing the steak to soak up the flavor.

4. Serve

• Plate the steak bites alongside the roasted veggies.

• Garnish with fresh parsley and an extra drizzle of the garlic butter sauce, if desired.

🌟 Tips & Variations

✔ Steak Tips:

• For the most tender bites, choose a well-marbled steak like ribeye or filet mignon.

• Let your steak rest for 5 minutes before cutting to keep it juicy.

✔ Roasted Veggie Variations:

• Add sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, or mushrooms for more variety.

• You can also toss the veggies with a balsamic glaze after roasting for a tangy touch.

✔ Extra Flavor:

• If you want extra garlic flavor, add a clove or two of roasted garlic to the veggies before roasting.

✔ Gravy Lovers:

• Make a quick gravy by deglazing the steak pan with a splash of beef broth and adding a little flour to thicken. Pour over steak bites!

❓ Q&A

Q: Can I use a different cut of steak?

A: Yes! Any cut will work, but lean cuts like sirloin or flank steak can be a bit tougher. Ribeye or filet will provide the most tenderness.

Q: Can I make this in the air fryer?

A: Yes! You can air fry the veggies at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes. For steak, air fry at 400°F (200°C) for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Q: Can I cook the steak ahead of time?

A: Yes, but I recommend reheating it gently in the skillet with some butter or broth to keep it juicy.

Q: How do I make the veggies crispy?

A: Use a higher heat, don’t overcrowd the baking sheet, and give them a toss halfway through roasting to ensure even browning.

Q: How can I adjust the doneness of the steak bites?

A: If you prefer steak more well-done, cook the bites for an extra 2-3 minutes, but be careful not to overcook them, as they will become tougher.
