Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the steak cubes and toss them vigorously to ensure they are well coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and let the steak marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor development.

    Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to achieve a good sear. If using wooden skewers for grilling, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.

      Make Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the remaining minced garlic and sauté gently for about 1-2 minutes, just until fragrant—avoid browning the garlic to keep its flavor mild. Remove the saucepan from heat and set aside to let cool slightly.

        Skewer the Steak: If you're using skewers, thread the marinated steak cubes onto them, making sure to leave a little space between each piece. This spacing helps to ensure even cooking and a delicious char.

          Grill the Steak Bites: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting the time for your desired doneness. In the last minute of grilling, brush the steak bites with the garlic butter to infuse them with rich flavor.

            Rest and Serve: After grilling, remove the steak bites from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. This resting period helps retain the juices. Drizzle the remaining garlic butter over the steak bites and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

              Plate and Enjoy: Arrange the grilled garlic butter steak bites on a serving plate, accompanied by lemon wedges on the side. The lemon will add a refreshing citrusy zing to each bite!
