Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Optional Substitutions:
- You can substitute sirloin with ribeye for a richer flavor or tenderloin for an even more tender bite.
- For a dairy-free option, swap butter with a plant-based alternative.
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Pat the steak cubes dry with a paper towel to ensure a good sear. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the Oil: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak cubes in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
- Cook the Steak: Sear the steak bites for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the steak.
- Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, stir in the garlic, rosemary, and thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Coat the Steak in Butter: Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce until they’re fully coated and cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the steak bites with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the steak to ensure a nice, crispy sear.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; this will steam the steak rather than searing it.
- Use fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme for the best flavor, but dried herbs can work in a pinch.
