Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites:
- 1 pound sirloin steak or ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Season the Steak: Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer and cook without stirring for 2-3 minutes to develop a brown crust. Turn the steak and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until desired doneness.
- Make the Garlic Butter: Reduce heat to medium, add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir continuously, coating the steak bites in the garlic butter for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Finish and Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding red pepper flakes or Worcestershire sauce.
- Use a cast iron skillet for optimal searing results.
- Allow the steak bites to rest briefly before serving to retain their juices.
