Ingredients
1 ½ pounds steak (sirloin, ribeye, or strip steak)

1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

-
Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch in size. Pat the steak pieces dry with paper towels and season them evenly with salt and black pepper.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
-
Once the oil is hot, add the steak cubes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan so the steak can sear properly.

Cook the steak bites for about 1 to 2 minutes per side until they develop a browned crust and reach your desired doneness.
-
Remove the steak bites from the skillet and set them aside.
-
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet.
-
Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter sauce until evenly coated.
-
Cook for another minute until everything is heated through.
-
Sprinkle chopped parsley and optional red pepper flakes over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
- Patting the steak dry helps achieve a better sear.Cook the steak in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.Add fresh herbs such as thyme or rosemary to the butter for extra flavor.For a bright finish, squeeze a little lemon juice over the steak before serving.
