Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

Butter Sauce

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Trim any excess fat from your steak and cut into evenly-sized bite-sized cubes to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Season the Steak: Generously season the steak cubes with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
  3. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil, coating the bottom of the pan; make sure the pan is hot for a perfect sear.
  4. Sear the Steak Bites: Add the steak cubes in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook about 2 minutes per side until browned and forming a golden crust. Remove steak bites and set aside.
  5. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: Lower the heat slightly and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, taking care not to burn the garlic.
  6. Combine and Toss: Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss gently in the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly and warm through, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Add Fresh Herbs and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the steak bites for color and freshness. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Let steak sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before cooking for even cooking and juiciness.
  • Cook steak bites in batches if needed; do not overcrowd the pan to maintain high heat for proper searing.
  • Use high-quality unsalted butter for the best flavor and texture in the garlic butter sauce.
  • Fresh garlic is preferred over pre-minced for optimal aroma and flavor.
  • Allow steak bites to rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to help redistribute juices for maximum tenderness.
