Tender and juicy steak bites seared to perfection in a hot skillet, infused with rich garlic butter and fresh herbs. A quick and flavorful dish perfect for a satisfying meal or appetizer.
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 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Pat the sirloin steak cubes dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Season the steak cubes evenly with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, add the steak cubes in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook in batches.
Sear the steak bites without moving them for 2-3 minutes until a brown crust forms on one side.
Flip the steak bites and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir quickly to avoid burning, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the unsalted butter to the skillet.
Stir the steak bites in the melted butter and garlic until well coated and heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the steak bites.
Serve immediately while hot.
