– 1 ½ lbs sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Preparing Steak Bites with Garlic Butter is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Steak: Cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces. This ensures they cook evenly and quickly.
2. Season: In a bowl, combine the steak pieces with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
4. Cook the Steak: Add the steak bites in a single layer. Sear for about 2-3 minutes on one side without moving them, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
5. Remove and Rest: Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked steak bites to a plate, letting them rest while you prepare the garlic butter.
6. Make the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and thyme. Cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the garlic to brown slightly.
7. Combine: Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter to evenly coat.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy hot, straight from the skillet, for the best flavor.
Following these steps will ensure your Steak Bites with Garlic Butter turn out incredibly delicious every time!
