Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) steak (such as sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Ingredient Highlights

  • Steak: Sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin work best for this recipe as they are tender and flavorful. Choose high-quality steak for the best results.
  • Garlic: Freshly minced garlic infuses the butter with rich, aromatic flavor.
  • Butter: Unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness of the dish while adding a creamy richness.
  • Fresh Herbs: Thyme, rosemary, and parsley add a fresh and earthy aroma to the dish.

Instructions

Prepare the Steak Bites:

  1. Prep the Steak: Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear. Season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
  2. Heat the Pan: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside.

Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

  1. Melt the Butter: Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Let it melt, then stir in the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
  2. Toss the Steak: Return the cooked steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the steak to soak up the flavors.

Serve:

  1. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the steak bites to a serving plate and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
