Ingredients
Scale
1 pound sirloin steak or filet mignon, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the steak cubes to the hot skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary.
Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until nicely browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the same skillet.
Once the butter is melted and foamy, add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
Return the seared steak bites to the skillet. Toss quickly to coat them completely in the garlic butter sauce.
Stir in the fresh parsley.
Serve immediately.
Notes
For the best sear, make sure your pan is hot before adding the steak.
Use good quality butter for the best flavor in the sauce.
Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference.
This recipe works well with any tender cut of steak.
