Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.25 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 0.75 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes optional heat
- 2 tsp fresh lemon juice optional for brightness
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Pat the steak dry, cut into 1-inch cubes, and season all over with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat.
- Sear the steak bites in a single layer, working in batches. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until well browned. Transfer to a plate.
- Lower heat to medium. Add the butter to the pan. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Return steak to the skillet and toss in the garlic butter for 30–60 seconds. Stir in parsley, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot, spooning extra garlic butter over the top.
Notes
Variation: Add 8 oz quartered mushrooms after searing the steak and sauté in the butter before adding garlic. Finish with rosemary or thyme instead of parsley if you prefer.
Serving tip: Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or cauliflower rice to soak up the extra garlic butter. Leftovers keep 3 days refrigerated; reheat quickly in a hot skillet with a dab of butter to avoid overcooking.
