Ingredients
Scale
Meat
- 1 pound sirloin steak
Butter and Seasonings
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet. Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat to get it ready for searing the steak.
- Season Steak. Season both sides of the sirloin steak evenly with salt and black pepper for flavor.
- Melt Butter. Add the unsalted butter to the hot skillet and let it melt completely, creating a rich base for cooking.
- Cook Steak. Place the seasoned steak in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side to achieve medium-rare doneness, or adjust the cooking time according to your preferred level.
- Rest Steak. Remove the steak from the skillet and allow it to rest for 5 minutes; this helps retain the juices.
- Sauté Garlic. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant, infusing the butter.
- Slice Steak. Slice the rested steak into bite-sized pieces for easy serving and eating.
- Combine Steak and Garlic Butter. Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them well in the garlic butter to coat thoroughly.
- Add Parsley. Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the steak bites and stir to combine the flavors.
- Heat Through. Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the steak bites completely.
- Serve. Remove the skillet from heat and serve the juicy garlic butter steak bites immediately while hot.
Notes
- For different steak doneness, adjust cooking times: 2-3 minutes per side for rare, 4-5 minutes for medium.
- Use fresh parsley for the best flavor and color in garnish.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet to ensure even cooking and searing.
- Letting the steak rest is essential to keep it juicy.
- You can use other cuts like ribeye or strip steak if preferred.
