Steak bites are the ultimate quick and flavorful dish, perfect for when you want restaurant-quality results in the comfort of your home. Cooking them on the Blackstone griddle takes their caramelization to the next level, locking in those rich juices and adding a slightly smoky crust.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds of sirloin steak (or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- Prepare the Steak:
- Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes and pat them dry with a paper towel to help achieve a good sear.
- Season the steak pieces with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Preheat the Blackstone Griddle:
- Set your Blackstone to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat up until shimmering.
- Sear the Steak Bites:
- Place the steak cubes in a single layer on the griddle. Let them sear undisturbed for 1-2 minutes to develop a nice crust.
- Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until browned and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is about 130°F internally). Remove and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- Lower the heat slightly and add butter to the griddle. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- If you like a little heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes at this stage.
- Combine:
- Return the steak bites to the griddle and toss them in the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly.
- Serve:
- Transfer the steak bites to a serving dish, drizzle any remaining garlic butter on top, and garnish with fresh parsley.
