Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound steak, cut into 1-inch pieces (top sirloin or ribeye work well)
- 1 recipe cowboy butter, divided
Instructions
- To a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add steak bites in a single layer (working in batches if needed) and sear for 1 ½ to 2 minutes without moving.
- Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until the steak reaches your desired doneness.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add half of the cowboy butter directly to the pan and toss the steak bites to coat.
- Cook for 1 additional minute, just until the butter is melted and the steak is evenly glazed.
- Melt the remaining cowboy butter in the microwave and serve on the side for dipping or drizzling.

- For Air Fryer Instructions: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
- Season steak bites with salt and pepper, and lightly coat with olive oil.
- Add to air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook for 4-6 minutes, shaking halfway through, until cooked to your liking.
- After cooking, transfer the steak bites to a bowl and toss with warm cowboy butter until evenly coated.
- Serve with extra cowboy butter for dipping or drizzling.
