Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Asparagus Recipe

Tender steak bites cooked in a flavorful garlic butter sauce, paired with roasted asparagus, make this a quick and flavorful dinner that's both satisfying and simple to prepare!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak bites with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

2. Roast the Asparagus: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the asparagus on a baking sheet and toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until tender.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme, and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

4. Combine & Serve: Add the cooked steak back into the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce. Serve the steak bites with roasted asparagus on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Make-Ahead & Storage Instructions:

• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the skillet over low heat.

Customization Ideas:

• Add Veggies: Serve with roasted sweet potatoes or sautéed spinach for more veggies.
• Spicy Version: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic butter for some heat.
• Add a Sauce: Serve with a side of steak sauce or creamy horseradish sauce.
