Ingredients

Units Scale

For this flavor explosion, grab:

  • 2 pounds sirloin steak or ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes for a kick

Instructions

Here’s how to transform these ingredients into dinner perfection:

  1. Start by patting your steak cubes completely dry with paper towels. This is the secret to getting that perfect golden-brown sear!
  2. Season the steak generously with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottom pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Add steak bites in a single layer – no crowding! We want to sear, not steam.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, aiming for a beautiful golden-brown crust.
  6. Reduce heat to medium-low and add butter to the pan.
  7. Toss in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  8. Spoon the garlic butter over the steak bites, creating a luxurious coating.
  9. Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
