Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak (or ribeye)
Cooking Fats:
- 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasonings and Herbs:
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Transform premium steak into succulent, bite-sized morsels by slicing against the grain into uniform, compact pieces.
- Generously season the steak cubes with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper, ensuring comprehensive flavor coverage.
- Ignite a robust cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, introducing a thin layer of olive oil to create an ideal searing environment at approximately 425°F.
- Carefully deposit steak pieces into the scorching skillet, allowing each side to caramelize for 2-3 minutes without overcrowding, creating a rich, golden-brown exterior.
- Transfer seared steak bites to a separate plate, maintaining their perfect temperature and preventing overcooking.
- Reduce skillet heat and introduce rich, creamy butter, allowing it to melt smoothly while incorporating finely minced garlic.
- Sauté garlic for approximately 45-60 seconds until fragrant, releasing its aromatic essence without burning.
- Reintroduce the seared steak bites into the garlic-infused butter, gently tumbling to ensure comprehensive and luxurious coating.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across the glistening steak bites for a vibrant, herbaceous finish.
- Serve immediately while the steak remains hot and butter sauce remains silky, presenting a delectable culinary experience.
Notes
- Ensure steak is at room temperature before cooking to guarantee even browning and prevent tough meat texture.
- Pat meat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a perfect golden-brown sear and prevents steaming.
- Use a cast-iron skillet for maximum heat retention and superior caramelization of steak bites.
- For a low-carb or keto-friendly version, replace regular butter with grass-fed butter and pair with roasted vegetables instead of traditional sides.
