Garlic Butter Steak Bites

# What You Need:

→ Steak

01 - 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

02 - 1 tsp kosher salt

03 - 1/2 tsp black pepper

→ Garlic Butter Sauce

04 - 3 tbsp unsalted butter

05 - 4 cloves garlic, finely minced

06 - 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

07 - 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

→ For Cooking

08 - 1 tbsp olive oil

# Directions:

01 - Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels and season evenly with kosher salt and black pepper.

02 - Preheat a large skillet over high heat, add olive oil and swirl to coat the surface evenly.

03 - Arrange steak cubes in a single layer without overcrowding and sear undisturbed for 2 minutes. Turn cubes to brown all sides, cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes for medium-rare. Remove steak cubes and keep loosely covered.

04 - Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter to the skillet and melt. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, avoiding browning.

05 - Return the seared steak cubes to the skillet and toss to coat thoroughly in the garlic butter sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and optional crushed red pepper flakes.

06 - Serve immediately, spooning the pan sauce over the steak cubes.

# Expert Tips:

01 -

Ready in twenty minutes from start to finish, no resting required.
One pan means less cleanup and more time enjoying dinner with people you like.
The seared crust on each bite tastes like steakhouse quality, but the whole thing happens at home.

02 -

Wet steak won't sear—it will steam and turn gray. This taught me the hard way that drying the meat is the single most important step between raw and restaurant-quality.
Don't walk away from high heat and a full pan; timing changes by seconds depending on thickness and your stove. Stay present, watch for the crust, and pull them when they look right, not when the clock says so.
