Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak cut into small cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper plus more to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped, for garnish
- to taste salt and black pepper for seasoning
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet set over high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the steak in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Sprinkle generously with salt and black pepper to season.
- Allow the steak to cook for at least 2 minutes before stirring. Once they have a nice sear, stir and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove the steak from the pan and transfer it to a clean plate. Repeat until all steak bites are cooked.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and melt the butter in the pan. Add the minced garlic to the butter and cook for approximately 1 minute until fragrant.
- Return the steak bites to the skillet. Stir to coat in the garlic butter sauce and continue to cook for an additional minute.
- Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, use thick-cut sirloin steak and do not overcrowd the pan when searing. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet for maximum juiciness.
