Garlic Butter Steak Bites

# Ingredient List:

→ Steak

01 - 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

02 - 1 tsp kosher salt

03 - 1/2 tsp black pepper

→ Garlic Butter Sauce

04 - 3 tbsp unsalted butter

05 - 4 cloves garlic, finely minced

06 - 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

07 - 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

→ For Cooking

08 - 1 tbsp olive oil

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Pat the steak cubes dry using paper towels, then season evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.

02 - Warm a large skillet over high heat and add olive oil, swirling to coat the surface evenly.

03 - Arrange steak cubes in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear undisturbed for 2 minutes, then turn to brown all sides for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until medium-rare. Remove and keep warm loosely covered.

04 - Lower heat to medium-low. Add butter to the skillet and melt completely. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant without browning.

05 - Return steak bites to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly in the garlic butter sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and, if desired, crushed red pepper flakes.

06 - Plate immediately, spooning pan sauce over the steak bites for enhanced flavor.

# Expert Advice:

01 -

Twenty minutes from cutting board to table, and somehow tastes like you've been cooking all day.
Crispy golden edges on every cube while the inside stays tender and juicy, no fancy technique required.
The garlic butter becomes the whole magic—don't skip toasting it gently.

02 -

The biggest mistake is overcrowding the pan—it drops the temperature and you'll steam your steak instead of searing it. Work in batches if you need to.
Don't brown the garlic; it goes bitter and tastes regretful. Thirty seconds of gentle sautéing is the whole point.
