Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1½ pound sirloin steak cut into bite size pieces, or strip loin, tenderloin, strip steak or rib eye
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon pepper or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon parsley fresh, chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat it over high heat. Make sure the olive oil is hot, then add the steak pieces to it. Season them generously with salt and pepper. 
  2. Cook for at least 2 minutes before stirring the steak pieces. You want to make sure you get a good sear on them. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until they're golden brown. If your skillet isn't big enough, you may need to do this batches.  
  3. Transfer the steak bites to a plate and in the same skillet add the butter. Turn the heat down to a medium and after the butter has melted, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 30 seconds while stirring, just until the garlic becomes aromatic and starts to brown.
  4. Pour the garlic butter over the steak bites and toss well. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Make sure to pat the steak dry with paper towels before cutting into bite-sized pieces. This helps the steak to brown nicely and develop a delicious crust.
  • Preheat the pan before adding the steak bites to ensure a good sear and even cooking.
  • Cook the steak bites in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lead to steaming instead of browning.
  • Allow the steak bites to rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain their juices and ensure a tender, flavorful result.
  • Store leftover steak bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave to retain their tenderness and flavor.
