Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs Sirloin steak (or Ribeye), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or high-heat oil)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preparation and Seasoning. Start by patting the steak cubes dry with paper towels. This is a crucial step to ensure a good sear. Place the cubes in a bowl and season them generously with salt, pepper, and your preferred dried herbs. Toss them well so each piece is evenly coated.
- Step 2: Searing the Steak. Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering and hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to work in batches. Let them sear undisturbed for 2 minutes to develop a brown crust, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Step 3: Creating the Garlic Butter Sauce. Lower the heat slightly and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic. Use a spoon to baste the steak bites with the melting garlic butter for about 1 minute. The garlic should become fragrant but be careful not to let it burn.
- Step 4: Final Garnish. Remove the pan from the heat immediately. Sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley over the steak bites and give everything one final toss to ensure the meat is fully coated in the herb butter. Serve immediately while hot.
