Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Pan-SearedEasyPrep 10 minCook 10 minServes 4

Sirloin cut into cubes, seared hard in a screaming-hot pan and tossed in garlic butter — a 20-minute dinner that tastes like steakhouse cooking.

Ingredients

1½ sirloin steak (1.5 lb), cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp soy sauce
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Steps

Pat the steak cubes very dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it just starts to smoke.
Sear the steak in a single layer, 2 minutes per side, until deeply browned. Work in two batches so the pan stays hot.
Return all the steak to the pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, garlic and soy sauce.
Toss for 1 minute until the butter foams and coats the steak. Scatter with parsley and serve immediately.

Serve with: mashed potatoes, rice or crusty bread, plus roasted broccoli.

Dry steak and a single layer are non-negotiable: wet or crowded cubes steam gray instead of searing brown.
