Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season them evenly with salt and pepper.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add one tablespoon of butter and let it melt until it foams slightly.
- Add half of the steak cubes to the hot skillet in a single layer. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned. Do not overcrowd the pan. Remove the first batch and set aside.
- Repeat the searing process with another tablespoon of butter and the remaining steak cubes. Remove and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the remaining two tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
- Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Return all the seared steak bites to the skillet. Toss gently to coat them completely in the garlic butter sauce.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes more, just to heat through.
- Remove from heat. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley before serving immediately.
Notes
- Use a high-heat oil like avocado or canola if your butter starts browning too quickly during the searing stage.
- For best results, let your steak sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before cooking.
- You can substitute sirloin with filet mignon or ribeye for a richer flavor.
