Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tbsps butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet to medium-high temperature, creating an ideal searing environment for the meat.
- Generously coat steak pieces with salt and black pepper, ensuring even seasoning across all surfaces.
- Carefully place seasoned steak bites into the hot skillet, allowing each side to develop a rich golden-brown crust for approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer browned meat to a separate plate, keeping the flavorful skillet residue intact.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium and introduce butter, letting it melt smoothly and create a luxurious base.
- Sprinkle minced garlic into melted butter, stirring quickly to release its aromatic essence without burning.
- Reintroduce seared steak bites into the skillet, gently coating them with the fragrant garlic butter sauce.
- Allow meat to warm through for an additional minute, ensuring perfect temperature and flavor absorption.
- Finish the dish by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley across the steak bites for a vibrant garnish and serve immediately.
Notes
- Opt for high-quality, well-marbled cuts like ribeye or sirloin for maximum tenderness and flavor.
- Pat steak pieces dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden-brown sear and prevent steaming.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for the best heat distribution and beautiful caramelization of the meat.
- For a low-carb or keto-friendly version, skip any additional seasonings and stick to salt, pepper, and garlic butter.
