Quickly seared steak cubes coated in a rich garlic butter sauce. Perfect for a fast dinner or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak or New York strip steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add steak cubes in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until browned. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F (54-57°C). Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Return the steak bites to the skillet. Toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  6. Stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice, if using.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use a meat thermometer to check steak doneness.
  • To minimize smoke when searing, ensure your pan is hot before adding the steak and avoid overcrowding.
  • This recipe pairs well with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
  • Leftover steak bites can be reheated gently in a skillet over low heat with a little extra butter.
