Ingredients

  • Steak – Ribeye or sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes.
  • Salted butter – I cook with salted butter but you could use unsalted, just add a pinch of salt.
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • Shallots – You could also use sweet onion.
  • Garlic – Use fresh garlic; jarlic just doesn’t have the same flavor.
  • Parsley – Finely chopped, plus extra for garnish.
  • Lemon juice – Freshly squeezed for the best flavor!
  • Ground black pepper

How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites Escargot-Style

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the garlic butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped shallots, parsley, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly incorporated.
  3. Sear the steak bites. Heat a skillet over high heat. Add a splash of oil and quickly sear the steak bites on each side for about 1 minute until they are browned but not fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Assemble in the escargot dish. Place one steak bite into each well of the escargot dish. Top each piece with a generous dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it coats the steak and fills the well.
  5. Bake to perfection. Place the escargot dish in the preheated oven and bake for 5–7 minutes, or until the steak bites are cooked to your desired doneness and the garlic butter is bubbling.
  6. Garnish and serve. Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle with additional chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant touch. Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful garlic butter.

Step-By-Step Process

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Use a tender cut of steak like ribeye or sirloin for the best results.
  • Bake on a cookie sheet with raised sides just in case the butter oozes over the top.
  • For a smoky touch, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the garlic butter.
  • Don’t overcook the steak bites—searing and baking briefly ensures they stay juicy.
  • No escargot dish? Use a mini muffin tin as a substitute.
