Cast Iron Skillet Steak

Strip

avocado oil

salt

black pepper

unsalted butter

rosemary

garlic

Allow the steaks to come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Then pat them dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.

Heat avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering.

Place the steaks in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes on one side without touching. Use tongs to flip the steaks and cook for 4 more minutes on the other side.

Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter, garlic and rosemary or thyme sprigs. Once the butter melts, tilt the skillet and spoon the butter over the steaks repeatedly until the steaks reach desired doneness, keeping in mind that the temperature will continue to rise about 5 degrees after you remove from heat and the steaks rest.

Transfer the steaks to a plate or cutting board, and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. Serve with the melted butter, garlic and rosemary from the skillet.

This Cowboy Butter Steak Bites recipe features tender, juicy steak pieces seared to perfection and coated in a rich, flavorful cowboy butter sauce. Perfect for a quick and satisfying meal or appetizer, these steak bites are bursting with bold flavors and a buttery glaze that will have you coming back for more.

Cowboy Butter Steak Bites Recipe

extra virgin olive oil

steak,

Heat the skillet

Preheat a medium skillet over medium-high heat until hot. This ensures a good sear on the steak bites for optimal flavor and texture.

Cook the steak bites

Add olive oil to the hot skillet. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steak pieces in a single layer without crowding the pan. Sear for 1 ½ to 2 minutes without moving them to develop a caramelized crust. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until they reach your preferred level of doneness.

Add cowboy butter

Reduce the heat to medium and add half of the cowboy butter directly to the skillet. Toss the steak bites to coat evenly with the butter. Cook for 1 more minute until the butter is melted and the steak is glazed with the rich sauce.

Serve with remaining butter

Melt the remaining cowboy butter in the microwave and serve it alongside the steak bites for dipping or drizzling, enhancing the buttery, savory flavors with every bite.
