Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lb sirloin steak trimmed and cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder optional
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 clove garlic minced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Pat the steak cubes very dry with paper towels. Season evenly with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Add olive oil and swirl to coat.
- Sear steak bites in a single layer without crowding until deeply browned, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Work in batches if needed and transfer browned steak to a plate.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted and foaming, stir in minced garlic and red pepper flakes; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Return steak bites and any juices to the skillet. Toss to coat in the garlic butter and warm through to desired doneness, about 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve immediately.
Notes
For the best sear, make sure the steak is dry and the pan is very hot. Swap sirloin with ribeye or New York strip for extra tenderness. Great with mashed potatoes, rice, or over a salad.
