Increase the heat slightly and add the steak bites in a single layer.
Sear the meat for 2-3 minutes until a nice crust forms on all sides.
Next, stir in the butter, minced garlic, and dried herbs.

Pro Tips for Garlic Butter Steak Bites

To achieve the best sear, make sure your Garlic Butter Steak Bites is at room temperature before cooking. Moreover, do not crowd the pan, as this can cause the meat to steam rather than brown. If you prefer extra crispy potatoes, you can parboil them for five minutes before pan-frying. Therefore, you will get that perfect crunch every time.

Storage Instructions

You can keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. When reheating, use a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking the steak. However, the potatoes may lose some crispness after being refrigerated. Still, the flavors remain delicious the next day.
