If you follow a Carnivore or Keto diet and want to bring a fresh, rich flavor to your everyday meals, today’s recipe is for you! "Roasted Garlic Butter Steak Bites" is a dish that is as easy to make as it is incredible to eat. Let's find out how to make this restaurant-quality meal using tender Ribeye steak and flavor-packed garlic butter.
Ingredients You Will Need:
Ribeye Steak: 1-inch thick
Garlic: 2 whole heads (or cloves, for roasting)
Salt: To taste
Parsley: Finely chopped
Butter: 1 stick (salted and softened)
Lard or Tallow: 1 tablespoon (for roasting the garlic)
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Roasted Garlic Butter First, remove the papery skin from your garlic. Place the garlic in the middle of a piece of aluminum foil, add about a tablespoon of lard, and a big pinch of salt. Wrap it tightly and roast it in the oven at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the garlic is nicely browned and soft. Once done, mash the roasted garlic into a paste. Add the chopped parsley and the softened stick of butter, mixing thoroughly to create a delicious compound butter. Set this aside.
Step 2: Prep the Steak Take your Ribeye and cut it into 1-inch by 1-inch cubes. For the best cooking results, strategically press the cubes back together into a steak shape and season generously with salt. Cooking them packed together initially helps ensure the bites get beautifully browned all over without overcooking the inside.
Step 3: Sear and Baste Place the steak-shaped cubes into a pan over medium-high heat. Sear for about 3 minutes until a nice brown crust forms. Flip the pieces over to sear the other side. Push all the steak pieces to one side of the pan and drop in about 3 tablespoons of your prepared garlic compound butter. Tilt the pan, grab a spoon, and continuously baste the steak pieces with the melted butter for about 2 minutes.
