Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, trimmed of excess outer fat and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme

Instructions:

  1. Pat the cubed sirloin thoroughly with paper towels to ensure the meat is completely dry.
  2. Season the steak cubes generously with kosher salt and cracked black pepper immediately before cooking.
  3. Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until it begins to shimmer.
  4. Add the steak bites in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Sear without moving for 2–3 minutes until a dark crust forms.
  5. Flip the steak bites and sear for another 2 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium. Slide the steak bites to the side of the pan and add the butter.
  7. Once the butter foams, stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme. Sauté for 60 seconds until the garlic is fragrant and golden.
  8. Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter glaze to coat evenly and remove from heat.
  9. Garnish with 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley.
