Ingredients
Scale
Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of what you’ll need. I promise it’s not much, but each ingredient plays its part in creating a symphony of flavors.
- 1 pound of sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced (or more if you’re a garlic lover like me!)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
If you find yourself without fresh parsley, no worries—dried parsley works just fine. And if you’re out of sirloin, a good cut of ribeye or even flank steak can step in without missing a beat.
Instructions
Now, let’s get to the fun part—cooking! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a delicious meal ready in no time.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want the pan nice and hot before adding the steak, which helps to sear the outside and lock in those juices.
- Season the steak bites with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet in a single layer. Cook without moving them for about 2 minutes, allowing a good sear to form.
- Stir the steak bites and cook for another 2 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter for an additional 1-2 minutes. This is where the magic happens, and the garlic butter coats every piece.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if using, and serve immediately. Enjoy the rich flavors and savor each bite!
