Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. Steak * (cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 6 Tablespoons butter
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley (diced)
Instructions
- Start with cutting the steak into small, bite-size pieces. The size you choose to cut the steak can be a personal preference. The smaller you cut the steak, the faster it will cook.
- Dry out the steak. This can be done by pressing the steaks with paper towels to soak up any excess liquid. By doing this, it allows the steak to sear and get a crust on it. If the steak has any type of moisture, it may steam rather than sear.Generously sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over high heat. Allow it to heat up. Drizzle oil in the pan and let the oil heat up. Be careful as the oil can splatter!
- Add the steak and let the steak sit, untouched, for two minutes. This allows it to sear. After 2-3 minutes, flip the steak pieces to the other side. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the steaks and the desired doneness of the steaks. If you want medium steak bites, you will need to only cook the steak for about 4-6 minutes total.

- Make the garlic butter sauce by heating up the butter in a skillet. Add the garlic and cook for only 30-60 seconds to prevent browning.
- Once the steak is cooked, drizzle with garlic butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Notes
- Choosing the right type of steak can be confusing. Steaks can range in their marbling, tenderness, and price with each cut having unique flavors and qualities.
- Ribeye Steak -- Ribeyes come from the center of the rib section and usually has the most marbling. Ribeye steaks are known to be both tender and juicy. They have a ton of flavor, so they really only require salt and pepper...no marinade necessary. This is why many consider these to be the tastiest of all steaks.
- Tri-Tip Steak -- It's a triangular piece of meat that comes from the bottom of the sirloin. It has excellent flavor and marbling and is tender and inexpensive. Tri-Tip steaks will give you flavor! It is similar in marbling and flavor with the ribeye steak but it’s much more affordable.
- New York Strip -- Your classic, can-never-go-wrong cut. From the top part of the short loin, just behind the ribs. It's both tender and flavorful that it doesn't need a marinade. It's typically an expensive cut, but slightly cheaper than a ribeye. New York Strip Steaks are known for their strong beefy flavor and a decent amount of marbling. The texture is quite tender but still chewy enough.
- Sirloin -- is cut from the sirloin section and is another affordable cut of steak. The sirloin is nicely tender—if not cooked past medium. After that, this cut tends to get tough. Sirloins are very popular pieces of meat but some argue that they have little flavor and are not tender. Sirloin steaks, when prepared and cooked properly, have a distinctly beefy flavor. With their cheaper price tag than many other types of steak, they are a firm favorite for weeknight meals. Sirloin steaks do not have much fat content or intramuscular marbling. Therefore, you should be careful not to overcook them.
- Filet Mignon -- One of the most delicate, tender cuts of meat. Filet mignon is cut from the very tip of the tenderloin, which makes this steak extremely tender. The flavor is exceptional but comes with a high price tag. Because tenderloins are so lean, they are not considered to be as flavorful as many other cuts. However, what they lack in marbling, they make up for with a buttery texture that melts in the mouth.
