Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds of steak meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (preferably browned for that rich flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning your steak meat with salt, black pepper, paprika, and smoked paprika. Mix well to ensure even coating. Heat your grill to medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Place the seasoned steak bites on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely charred and cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove from the grill and set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley and remove from heat.
  4. Place the grilled steak bites in a large bowl or skillet. Pour the hot cowboy butter over the steak bites and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately, perhaps with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.

Notes

  • Ensure the steak pieces are of uniform size for even cooking.
  • For extra heat, increase the cayenne pepper in the cowboy butter.
  • You can prepare the cowboy butter ahead of time and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
