🛒 Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Pat steak cubes dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Sear the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the steak pieces in a single layer and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned. Remove and repeat with remaining steak.
- Add the butter & garlic: Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the pan; once melted, add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Toss & serve: Return steak to the skillet and toss to coat in garlic butter. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
🍽️ Serving Ideas
- Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or over rice.
- For appetizers, pair with toothpicks and a creamy dipping sauce.
💡 Simply Made Tip
Use room-temperature steak for the best sear — it helps form that perfect golden crust without overcooking the inside!
