Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef tenderloin cut into 1" cubes (can also use sirloin or ribeye)
  • 1 tablespoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes optional
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil avocado, vegetable, canola, etc
  • 1 tick unsalted butter
  • 8 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large shallot finely minced
  • 3 large green onions minced
  • 1/4 cup parsley minced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut steak into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Heat a large cast iron pan to medium-high heat. While the pan is heating up, pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and season with salt.
  3. Add the oil to the pan and once shimmering add one layer of the steak, taking care to not overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2 minutes per side then remove pieces to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat for the next batch.
  4. Turn the heat to low and remove most of the oil from the pan with paper towels. Place the butter and shallot into the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Next, add the garlic and continue to cook until it turns lightly golden and very fragrant. During the last 30 seconds of cooking add in the optional red pepper flakes.
  5. Turn the heat to medium, return the beef cubes to the pan, and toss until warmed through (about 2 minutes). Taste test and season with more salt and pepper if required. Mix in the green onion and parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Cooking the beef for 2 minutes per side will achieve a perfect medium-rare, but if you like it more cooked, simply increase the cooking time.
  • Leftovers can be saved for up to 3 days in the fridge and can be reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
