Ingredients

Scale

Steak

  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces and season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
  2. Heat the Pan: Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, indicating it’s ready for cooking.
  3. Sear the Steak Bites: Add the steak bites to the skillet in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the first side is browned and caramelized.
  4. Add Garlic: Flip the steak bites, then add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds until the garlic becomes fragrant but not burned.
  5. Incorporate Butter: Add the unsalted butter to the skillet, letting it melt completely. Baste the steak bites with the butter to infuse rich flavor and moisture.
  6. Finish Cooking: Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes or until your preferred doneness is reached, ideally medium-rare for maximum juiciness.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the steak bites, and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality cut like sirloin or ribeye for the best texture and flavor.
  • Cook steak in batches to avoid steaming and ensure proper browning.
  • Adjust garlic quantity according to your preference for pungency.
  • For a spicier variation, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when adding garlic.
  • Let steak rest for a couple of minutes before serving if you want it slightly juicier.
