Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
These are the simple ingredients needed to create the garlic butter sauce and steak bites.
Directions
- Season the steak bites generously with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat until it’s bubbling.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!
- Place the seasoned steak bites in the skillet in a single layer. Sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the cooked steak bites with fresh parsley before serving.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: If you don’t have sirloin steak, try using flank steak or ribeye for a different flavor profile. For a lighter option, you can substitute the butter with olive oil.
- Optional variations: Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for an extra depth of flavor or toss in some red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm them gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking the steak.
