Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) halal sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp salt, or to taste
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp soy sauce (halal-certified)
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

1. Prepare the steak: Pat the steak cubes dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps get a good sear.
2. Season the meat: In a bowl, combine steak cubes with salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, and soy sauce. Mix well to coat evenly.
3. Sear the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding.
4. Cook until browned: Sear for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the pan and set aside.
5. Make the garlic butter sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter. Once melted, add minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Combine and coat: Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet. Toss in the garlic butter sauce for about 1–2 minutes to absorb all that garlicky flavor.
7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Description

These Halal Garlic Steak Bites are a quick, restaurant-style meal made right at home! The beef is perfectly seared to lock in its juices and then coated in a luscious garlic butter sauce that melts in your mouth. Ready in just 20 minutes, this dish makes an excellent weeknight dinner or a crowd-pleasing appetizer. Each bite is bursting with savory, garlicky perfection.

Tips

• Choose the right cut: Tender cuts like sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin work best for juicy results.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan: Cook in batches if needed for even searing.
• Add heat: Sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
• Butter quality: Use real butter for a rich, creamy flavor.
• Serving idea: Pair with mashed potatoes, garlic rice, or roasted veggies.

Correction

If your steak turns out chewy or dry, it’s likely overcooked or not rested properly. For tender bites:

• Cook over high heat for a quick sear.
• Let the steak rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
