  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Steak

  • 3 pounds sirloin steak, cut into small bite-sized pieces (about 1 to 1 ½ inch chunks)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, divided

Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 6-8 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced (or more to taste)
  • 3 tbsp fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to get it hot for searing the steak.
  2. Prepare the Steak: Pat the cut sirloin steak pieces dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps the seasoning stick and creates a better crust during cooking.
  3. Season the Meat: In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle this seasoning evenly over the steak pieces and toss well to coat all sides.
  4. Sear in Batches: Add the steak to the hot skillet in a single layer, working in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Sear each batch for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Transfer cooked steak pieces to a plate. Add more olive oil as needed for subsequent batches.
  5. Melt the Butter: Lower the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the skillet. Allow it to melt completely.
  6. Sauté Garlic: Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  7. Combine Steak and Sauce: Return all the seared steak bites to the skillet. Stir well to coat them thoroughly in the garlic butter sauce.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley over the steak bites. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes and vegetables or your favorite sides.

Notes

  • For the best crust, ensure steak pieces are dry before seasoning and searing.
  • Adjust cayenne pepper to control the spice level.
  • Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the butter sauce.
  • Cook steak in small batches to avoid steaming and ensure proper browning.
  • Serve steak bites with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
