Ingredients
Scale
Steak Bites
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Season the Steak: Season the sirloin steak pieces evenly with salt and black pepper to enhance their natural flavor before cooking.
- Preheat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium-high heat to allow it to become hot enough for searing the steak bites properly.
- Melt Initial Butter: Add 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter to the hot skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
- Cook the Steak Bites: Add the seasoned steak bites to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are nicely browned and cooked through.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, letting the garlic infuse the butter and steak with its aroma and flavor.
- Add Remaining Butter and Toss: Introduce the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and toss the steak bites in the skillet so they are thoroughly coated in the garlicky butter sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the steak bites before serving to add color and freshness to the dish.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor intensity.
- Sirloin steak is ideal for its tenderness and quick cooking time, but you can substitute with ribeye or filet mignon if preferred.
- Ensure the skillet is hot before adding steak to get a good sear and lock in juices.
- Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
