Description
Delicious garlic butter sirloin steak bites, seared to perfection and tossed in a flavorful garlic butter sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
- Cut 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces. Pat them very dry with paper towels.
- Heat a large skillet (cast iron works great) over high heat. Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and let it get very hot.
- Season steak pieces generously with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add steak to the hot pan in a single layer. Don’t stir! Let it cook undisturbed for at least 2 minutes to get a good sear.
- Flip the steak pieces and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown. If your pan isn’t big enough, work in batches so the steak isn’t crowded.
- Remove steak from the pan and set on a plate.
- Turn heat down to medium. Add 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter to the same pan.
- Once butter is melted, add 4 cloves garlic, minced and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, just until garlic becomes fragrant. Don’t let the garlic burn.
- Pour the garlic butter over the steak bites and toss to coat.
- Garnish with 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional) and serve immediately.
Notes
- Make sure to pat the steak dry for a better sear.
- You can adjust the seasoning based on your taste preferences.
- This recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
