Ingredients:
- 1 pound of your favorite steak (such as sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized cubes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Steak:
- Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes, ensuring they are relatively uniform in size for even cooking.
- Season the steak bites with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Cooking the Steak:
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the steak bites to the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the meat.
- Sear the steak bites on all sides until they reach your desired level of doneness. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare.
- Remove the cooked steak bites from the skillet and set them aside.
- Prepare Garlic Butter:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Combine Steak and Garlic Butter:
- Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet with the garlic butter.
- Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter until they are well coated.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Serve:
- Transfer the steak bites to a serving platter.
- Drizzle any remaining garlic butter over the steak.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
- Enjoy:
- Serve the steak bites immediately while hot. They can be enjoyed on their own, with a side of vegetables, or over rice or pasta.
This recipe is versatile, and you can adjust the seasonings and garlic butter to suit your taste preferences. It’s a quick and flavorful dish that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or entertaining guests.
