- 2 cloves garlic, minced to infuse a pungent depth
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded for a melty, tangy finish

- 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly ground for a subtle heat

- Introduce the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until no pink remains, about 5 minutes. Tip: Draining excess fat here will keep your filling from being greasy.

Garlic Butter Steak Runzas
Believe it or not, the first time I tried making Garlic Butter Steak Runzas, it was a happy accident. I had some leftover steak and dough, and voila—a new family favorite was born. Now, it’s a dish I turn to when I want something comforting yet impressively flavorful.
Ingredients
- 1 lb thinly sliced ribeye steak, marbled and tender
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted for lightness
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, rich and creamy
- 4 cloves garlic, freshly minced for pungent aroma
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warm to the touch
- 1 tsp active dry yeast, for that perfect rise
- 1 tsp sugar, to sweeten the dough just right
- 1/2 tsp salt, finely ground to enhance flavors
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly cracked for a bit of heat
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm milk and sprinkle the yeast over it. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy, proving the yeast is active.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. Tip: The oven with the light on creates the perfect warm environment for rising.
- While the dough rises, melt 1/4 cup of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then add the sliced steak. Cook for 3-4 minutes, just until the steak is browned but still pink inside. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 6-inch circle. Spoon the steak mixture onto one half of each circle, leaving a border. Fold the dough over the filling and crimp the edges to seal.
- Place the runzas on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Tip: Brushing the tops with melted butter before baking adds a beautiful sheen and extra flavor.
- Melt the remaining 1/4 cup of butter and stir in any leftover garlic from the steak mixture. Brush this garlic butter over the hot runzas as soon as they come out of the oven. Tip: This step is crucial for that irresistible garlic butter flavor that seeps into every bite.
Absolutely divine when served hot, the Garlic Butter Steak Runzas boast a flaky, buttery crust that gives way to juicy, garlicky steak inside. Try pairing them with a crisp green salad or dipping them in a side of warm beef broth for an extra cozy meal.
