Ingredients

For the Cowboy Butter Steak Bites

2 lbs sirloin steak or ribeye cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons Chimi Boss Blends Cowboy Butter
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
4 cloves garlic minced
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh thyme and rosemary sprigs
Flaky sea salt to finish

Fresh parsley garnish
Lemon wedges on the side
Crusty bread for dipping in the butter sauce
Steamed white rice or mashed potatoes
Roasted asparagus or green beans

How to Make Cowboy Butter Steak Bites

1) Prep the Steak

Pat steak cubes completely dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and Chimi Boss Blends Cowboy Butter on all sides. Let the seasoned steak sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cooking for the most even and beautiful sear.

2) Heat the Cast Iron

Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. A screaming hot cast iron is the secret to the perfect deep golden sear on every single steak bite every time.

3) Sear the Steak Bites

Add steak bites in a single layer — do not crowd the pan. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side without moving until a deep golden brown crust forms on every piece. Work in batches if needed — crowding the pan causes steaming instead of searing.

4) Add the Cowboy Butter

Reduce heat to medium. Add unsalted butter, minced garlic, fresh thyme, and rosemary to the pan. As the butter melts tilt the pan and spoon the bold garlic herb butter continuously over every steak bite for 1-2 minutes until fully basted and incredibly glossy.

5) Finish and Serve

Remove steak bites from the pan and rest for 3 minutes. Spoon the remaining Cowboy Butter sauce from the pan generously over the top. Finish with fresh parsley, a pinch of flaky sea salt, and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Serve immediately while hot and sizzling.

Tips for the Best Cowboy Butter Steak Bites

• Always dry the steak first. Patting the steak cubes dry before seasoning is essential for a proper sear. Moisture on the surface of the steak creates steam and prevents that beautiful golden crust from forming.
- Use a cast iron skillet. Cast iron retains heat better than any other pan. It creates the most beautiful and consistent sear on every steak bite every single time without exception.
- Never crowd the pan. Cook in batches if needed. Crowded steak bites steam instead of searing and turn grey and bland instead of golden and caramelized.
- Baste constantly. Tilting the pan and spooning the melted Cowboy Butter over the steak bites continuously builds incredible flavor and a beautiful glossy finish on every piece.
- Don't overcook. Steak bites are best at medium rare to medium. Pull them at 130-140°F internal temperature for the juiciest and most flavorful results every time.
