Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 3 pounds Sirloin Steak cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Minced Garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh Parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. I recommend using a cast iron skillet.
  • Add 3 pounds sirloin steak cut into bite size pieces to the skillet in a single layer. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
  • Cook the steak for 2 minutes without flipping it so that they get browned.
  • Then gently toss the steak and cook it for 2-3 more minutes until the steak is cooked through and browned.
  • Turn the heat down to medium. Add 1 Tablespoon minced garlic and 6 Tablespoons butter to the skillet. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant.
  • Remove from heat, top with 1 Tablespoon fresh chopped parsley, serve warm, and enjoy!

Recipe Tips
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan - Helps you get that perfect sear and texture. You may need to work in batches.
  • High heat is key - It locks in juices and creates a caramelized crust.
  • Cutting Steak - We recommend cutting the steak about the same size pieces so it cooks evenly.
Variations Ideas
  • Garlic Butter Steak Bites with Potatoes - Cook diced potatoes first, then toss with steak, onion and garlic butter for a complete meal idea.
  • Asian Twist - Add a splash of soy sauce and sesame oil for umami flavor.
  • Herb Butter Version - Mix in fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano with the butter.
  • Creamy Garlic Butter Sauce - Stir in a splash of cream for a silky finish.
  • Make it Spicy - Add red pepper flakes or cayenne for extra kick.
