Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak (or your preferred cut), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: red pepper flakes for a kick
Instructions
- Prep the Steak:
- Pat the steak bites dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Steak:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; you may need to do this in batches.
- Sear the steak for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the Garlic Butter:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Combine and Serve:
- Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter to coat. If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Cook for an additional minute to warm the steak through.
- Garnish:
- Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these garlic steak bites as an appetizer with toothpicks or over a bed of mashed potatoes or rice for a hearty main dish. Pair with a crisp salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
