Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season them evenly with salt and pepper.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil.
When the oil shimmers, add half of the steak cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a brown crust forms. Remove the seared steak and set aside.
Repeat the searing process with the remaining steak cubes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the skillet. Let it melt completely.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
Return all the seared steak bites to the skillet. Toss them gently to coat them completely in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for 1 minute more to heat through.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving immediately.
Notes
For best results, use a cast iron skillet to achieve a better sear on your steak.
You can substitute sirloin with ribeye or filet mignon for a richer flavor profile.
Serve these garlic butter steak bites over rice or with a side salad for a complete meal.
