Skillet Steak Bites with Tarragon Butter

Tender seared steak bites are a fast, flavorful meal for two. Cubes of rib eye, sirloin, tri‑tip, or New York strip are cooked in butter in a hot skillet until a brown crust forms, then tossed with minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh tarragon. The herb’s subtle anise‑like note brightens the rich, savory meat, and the sauce clings to each bite. Cook only a few minutes more to your preferred doneness. Serve immediately with roasted vegetables, a simple salad, crusty bread, or as an elegant appetizer. Easy to vary—swap herbs or add chili for heat. Perfect for weeknight dinners too
