Ingredients

Protein

  • 1
    1.5 pounds Steak (Sirloin or Ribeye)

Dairy

  • 1
    4 tablespoons Butter

Produce

  • 1
    6 cloves Garlic Cloves

Seasoning

  • 1
    1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2
    0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 3
    0.5 teaspoon Dried Parsley

Directions

1

Prepare the Steak

Cut the steak into 1-inch cubes. This size is perfect for quick cooking and easy eating. Use a sharp knife and be careful. A dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one. Place the steak cubes in a bowl.

2

Mix the Dry Seasoning

In a small bowl, combine salt, black pepper, and dried parsley. This mixture will evenly season the steak bites.

3

Season the Steak

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the steak cubes. Toss to ensure each piece is evenly coated. This step ensures that every bite is flavorful.

Mince the Garlic

Mince the garlic cloves. Mincing releases the garlic's flavors. If you don't have a garlic press, you can finely chop them with a knife. Remember to be cautious when using sharp utensils.

5

Melt the Butter

Place a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt, the pan is ready when butter is sizzling. Do not let the butter burn, it should be melted and slightly bubbly.

6

Sauté the Garlic

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Avoid burning the garlic, as it will turn bitter. Stir the garlic in the butter, be careful of hot butter.

7

Sear the Steak Bites

Add the seasoned steak cubes to the skillet. Ensure they are in a single layer, avoid overcrowding the pan for even cooking. If your skillet is small, cook in batches. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting time for your desired doneness. The steak should be browned and have a nice crust. Use tongs to turn the steak to avoid poking holes in the meat.

8

Rest the Steak Bites

Remove the steak bites from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes, this will allow the juices to redistribute and keep them tender.

9

Serve

Serve the steak bites immediately. Garnish with extra dried parsley if desired. Be cautious of the hot pan and serve on a heat-resistant dish.

Recipe Tips

  • For best results, use a high-quality cut of steak such as sirloin or ribeye.
  • Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the steak for a good sear.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the steak.
  • Adjust cooking time based on your preference for doneness.
  • Let the steak rest briefly after cooking to ensure it stays juicy.
  • Store leftover steak bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When selecting steak, look for marbling (flecks of white fat) as this adds to flavor and juiciness.
