Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 1 ½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
Butter and Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the steak cubes. Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking and quick searing.
- Sear steak cubes in butter. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the steak cubes to the pan in a single layer, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until nicely browned and cooked to your preferred doneness, seasoning with salt and pepper as they cook.
- Add garlic and cook briefly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic to the pan. Stir for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt, coating the steak bites in garlic butter.
- Serve hot. Remove the steak bites from the pan and serve immediately to enjoy their juicy and buttery flavor at its best.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor and avoid pre-minced varieties.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when searing to allow the steak cubes to brown properly.
- Adjust cooking time slightly for desired doneness: less time for rare, more for well done.
- Rest the steak bites for a few minutes after cooking for juicier results if desired.
- Serve with a side of vegetables or over rice or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
