Description

Juicy sirloin steak cubes seared to perfection and tossed in a rich garlic butter sauce, finished with fresh parsley. Ready in just 20 minutes, perfect as an appetizer or a main dish.


Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Let the steak sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking for even doneness.
  2. Cut steak into 1-inch cubes and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and 1 tbsp butter.
  4. Sear steak in batches without crowding the pan, cooking for about 2 minutes per side. Flip once.
  5. Remove steak from the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low.
  6. Add remaining butter and minced garlic, stirring for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  7. Return steak to the skillet with any accumulated juices, toss to coat in the garlic butter.
  8. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use ribeye or New York strip for a richer flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to achieve a proper sear.
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently to avoid overcooking.
