Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 ¼ lb. sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Let it heat until shimmering to ensure a good sear.
- Sear the steak bites: Add the bite-sized sirloin pieces to the hot skillet. Season them with salt and pepper to your taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, to sear all sides well and reach your preferred doneness. Because the pieces are small, this should only take a few minutes to avoid overcooking.
- Add garlic butter: Lower the heat to medium, then add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 2 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet. Stir constantly to combine the butter and garlic and to coat the steak bites evenly with the flavorful sauce.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the steak bites, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a hot skillet to achieve a perfect sear and retain steak juiciness.
- Adjust garlic quantity based on your preference for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
- Pair these steak bites with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
- Ensure steak pieces are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
