Follow these steps to make tender, flavorful steak bites coated in a rich garlic butter sauce, cooked quickly in a skillet.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season them evenly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
  3. Add half of the steak cubes to the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned on the outside.
  4. Remove the first batch of steak and set aside. Repeat the searing process with the remaining steak cubes.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the skillet.
  6. Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and thyme. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant, stirring constantly. Do not let the garlic burn.
  7. Return all the steak cubes to the skillet. Toss them gently in the garlic butter sauce for 1 minute to coat.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat immediately. Stir in the fresh parsley.
  9. Serve the steak bites right away.

Notes

  • For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F. For medium, aim for 135-140°F. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
  • Cutting the steak against the grain before cubing helps ensure tenderness.
  • Do not skip drying the steak; this helps achieve a proper sear.
