Ingredients

1 pound steak cut into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup salted butter softened
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons shallots finely chopped
2 cloves garlic finely minced
2 tablespoons parsley finely chopped, plus extra for garnish
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
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.
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.
Place one steak bite into each well of the escargot dish. Top each piece with a generous dollop of the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it coats the steak and fills the well.
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.
Remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle with additional chopped parsley for a fresh pop of flavor. Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the flavorful garlic butter.

Notes

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 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.
