Ingredients
1½–2 lb (680–900 g) steak (sirloin, ribeye, or flank), cut into bite-size cubes
Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1–2 tablespoons olive oil
3–4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4–5 cloves garlic, minced
1–2 teaspoons fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
Optional garnish: chopped parsley, lemon wedges
Instructions
Prep the Steak
Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Sear the Steak
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot and shimmering, add steak cubes in a single layer (cook in batches if needed).
Sear for 2–3 minutes without stirring to form a crust, then flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until browned on all sides and cooked to your preferred doneness.
Remove steak bites and set aside.
Make the Garlic Butter
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet.
Once melted, add garlic and herbs (if using). Cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Combine
Return steak bites to the skillet and toss until fully coated in the garlic butter sauce.
Serve
Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
Sirloin is lean and budget-friendly; ribeye gives the richest flavor.
Don’t overcrowd the pan or the steak will steam instead of sear.
Use a cast-iron skillet for the best crust.
Add a pinch of chili flakes for heat.
