Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cubed
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking and easy serving.
- Season the Steak: Generously season the steak cubes with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet on the stovetop over medium-high heat and allow it to get hot.
- Add Butter to Skillet: Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet and let it melt, creating a rich base for searing.
- Sear the Steak: Add the steak cubes to the skillet and sear them, turning occasionally until they are browned on all sides, which usually takes about 4-6 minutes.
- Add Garlic and Remaining Butter: Stir in the minced garlic along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, allowing the butter to melt and coat the steak bites.
- Cook Until Fragrant: Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the garlic releases its aroma and the butter sauce thickens slightly.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use sirloin steak for tender, flavorful bites but other tender cuts like ribeye can work well too.
- Make sure the skillet is hot before adding steak to achieve a nice sear.
- Be careful not to burn the garlic; add it after the steak is mostly done to preserve its flavor.
- This dish pairs well with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic.
