Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp (5g) kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) coarse black pepper
  • 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves (9g) garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp high smoke-point oil

Instructions:

  1. Pat the steak cubes completely dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper, tossing them in a bowl to ensure every side is coated. Note: This prevents the meat from steaming in the pan
  2. Heat a cast iron skillet or heavy stainless steel pan over high heat until a drop of water evaporates instantly. Add a small amount of high smoke-point oil.
  3. Add the steak in a single layer, leaving space between cubes. Sear for 2 minutes per side without moving them, until a dark brown crust forms.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Toss in the butter and minced garlic. Stir constantly for 60 seconds as the butter foams and smells nutty.
  5. Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter glaze for 30 seconds, then remove from heat immediately. Note: This prevents the garlic from burning
  6. Stir in the chopped parsley and red pepper flakes while the meat is still hot.
  7. Remove the Steak Bites from the pan and let them rest on a plate for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Pour any remaining garlic butter from the pan over the meat before serving.
