Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 pound (1 lb) sirloin or ribeye steak
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
Butter and Herbs:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 lemon, juice
Instructions
- Slice the steak into uniform, bite-sized cubes to ensure even cooking and attractive presentation.
- Season the meat generously with salt and black pepper, pressing the seasoning into the surface for maximum flavor absorption.
- Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet to high temperature, creating an intense cooking environment for perfect searing.
- Add butter to the scorching hot skillet, allowing it to melt and create a golden, flavorful base for the steak bites.
- Carefully place the seasoned steak pieces into the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to achieve a beautiful caramelized exterior.
- Sear the meat for approximately 2-3 minutes, rotating each piece to develop a rich, crispy crust on all sides.
- Reduce the skillet’s heat to medium and introduce finely chopped garlic, releasing its aromatic essence into the butter.
- Gently stir the garlic until fragrant, being careful not to burn the delicate ingredient.
- Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the steak bites, adding a bright, tangy dimension to the rich, savory dish.
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley across the steak for a pop of color and herbaceous freshness.
- Transfer the garlic butter steak bites to a serving plate and enjoy immediately while piping hot.
Notes
- Always choose a well-marbled cut like ribeye or sirloin for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Pat steak pieces completely dry before seasoning to ensure a perfect golden-brown sear without steaming.
- Use a heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet for the most even and high-heat cooking surface.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan, which can cause steaming instead of proper caramelization; cook in batches if needed.
