Ingredients
– 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
– 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional: Crushed red pepper flakes, for added heat
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make your steak bites with garlic butter:
1. Prepare the Steak: Cut your sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they’re evenly sized for uniform cooking.
2. Season the Beef: Generously season the steak pieces with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat until melted and bubbly.
4. Sear the Steak: Add the steak pieces to the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.
5. Remove the Steak: Once cooked, remove the steak bites from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
6. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Reduce heat to medium and add minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant (about 1 minute).
7. Add Herbs: Stir in the fresh thyme and parsley, allowing them to infuse the butter for extra flavor.
8. Combine with Steak: Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce until well coated.
9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning, adding crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
10. Serve Immediately: The steak bites are best served hot, right from the skillet.
Each step is designed to ensure that you achieve perfectly cooked steak bites coated in delicious garlic butter.
