Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) sirloin steak
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (or 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary (or 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary)
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Cooking Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Lemon wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Generously coat steak cubes with salt and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring even seasoning across all pieces.
- Preheat a large cast-iron skillet to medium-high heat, allowing the surface to become thoroughly hot before adding oil.
- Pour olive oil into the skillet, creating a thin, even layer that will help develop a rich, golden-brown crust on the meat.
- Carefully arrange steak pieces in a single layer, preventing overcrowding to ensure proper searing and caramelization.
- Cook steak bites for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, rotating to achieve a deep, mahogany-colored exterior while maintaining a tender, juicy center.
- Transfer seared steak bites to a clean plate, keeping them warm and preserving their internal temperature.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium and melt butter, creating a rich, golden base for the upcoming flavor development.
- Add minced garlic to the melted butter, stirring continuously for 1-2 minutes until the aroma becomes fragrant and slightly nutty.
- Return steak bites to the skillet, gently tossing them in the aromatic garlic butter sauce to ensure complete coating.
- Immediately remove from heat, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve while the steak remains hot and the butter sauce is glistening.
Notes
- Choose high-quality beef cuts like sirloin or ribeye for maximum tenderness and flavor.
- Pat steak bites completely dry before seasoning to ensure perfect crispy exterior and beautiful golden-brown sear.
- Use cast iron skillet for best heat distribution and creating delicious caramelized crust on meat.
- Avoid overcrowding pan to maintain high temperature and prevent steaming instead of searing meat.
