Ingredients
1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Season the steak cubes evenly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the steak cubes to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes without moving to develop a brown crust.
Flip the steak cubes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to desired doneness.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet.
Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the steak bites.
Serve immediately while hot.
