Equipment
- A sharp knife
- A cutting board
- A large skillet or frying pan
- A spatula or tongs
- A spoon or small bowl
- A plate
- A measuring spoon
Ingredients
For the Steak Bites:
- 1 lb 450g of sirloin steak or any steak cut of your choice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary optional
Instructions
Prepare the Steak:
- Begin by cutting your steak into bite-sized cubes. Make sure to season them generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
Cook the Steak Bites:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the steak pieces in a single layer.
- Let them cook without moving them around for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned and cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
- Remove the steak bites from the pan and set them aside on a plate.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Let it melt and then add the minced garlic.
- Cook the garlic for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- If you like, you can add a teaspoon of fresh thyme or rosemary at this point for extra flavor.
Combine and Serve:
- Add the cooked steak bites back into the skillet with the garlic butter sauce.
- Toss everything together to coat the steak bites in the buttery, garlicky goodness.
- Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for an added touch of color and flavor.
Serve:
- Serve your garlic butter steak bites immediately! They pair well with mashed potatoes, rice, or a crisp salad.
