Instructions
Get prepped
- Mince the garlic. Chop the parsley and chives. Measure out the butter, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cut the 2 pounds sirloin into 1-inch pieces.
Make the cowboy butter
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the 1/2 cup butter, 6 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon parsley, 1 tablespoon chives, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Set aside.
Cook the steak bites
- Heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Combine with cowboy butter
- Add half of the cowboy butter to the skillet. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the butter. Let cook for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
Serve
- Melt the remaining cowboy butter in the microwave in 30-second increments. Serve the steak bites with the melted butter on the side. Enjoy!

Notes
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the steak bites. For medium rare, aim for 135-145°F.
• Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy.
• To reheat the steak bites, use a microwave or air fryer for best results.
