Steak bites basted in garlic butter with parsley are an appetizer answer to a full steakhouse supper. Make it as a casual starter or a light dinner for four.

Ingredients

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
1 pound beef top sirloin steak, cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions

In a large bowl, combine salt, garlic powder, pepper and, if desired, red pepper flakes. Add steak and toss to coat.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add steak; cook, stirring occasionally, until meat is browned on the edges, 3-4 minutes. Place on a plate and set aside.
Add butter to the pan; once melted, add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add steak bites back to the pan and stir to coat. Stir in parsley.
