Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb (454 grams) sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
Herbs and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Cooking Fats:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Prepare a large skillet and heat olive oil over medium-high temperature until shimmering.
- Generously season meat cubes with salt and pepper, ensuring even coating.
- Carefully place seasoned meat into hot skillet, arranging in single layer without overcrowding.
- Sear meat cubes for 2-3 minutes per side, developing rich golden-brown exterior while maintaining desired internal temperature.
- Transfer perfectly seared meat bites to a clean plate, reserving skillet for next step.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium and introduce butter, allowing it to melt smoothly.
- Add minced garlic to melted butter, stirring continuously for approximately 60 seconds until aromatic and lightly golden.
- Incorporate finely chopped rosemary and thyme into garlic butter, cooking for additional 30 seconds to release herbaceous flavors.
- Return meat bites to skillet, gently tossing to coat each piece thoroughly with fragrant garlic herb butter sauce.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over meat for vibrant color and added freshness.
- Serve immediately while butter sauce remains warm and meat retains optimal temperature and juiciness.
Notes
- Select high-quality, well-marbled cuts like ribeye or sirloin for maximum tenderness and flavor in your steak bites.
- Ensure the skillet is scorching hot before adding steak to achieve a perfect golden-brown sear that locks in juices and creates delicious caramelization.
- Pat steak cubes completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to remove excess moisture, which helps create a crispy exterior when searing.
- Allow steak bites to rest for a few minutes after cooking to redistribute internal juices, preventing dryness and maintaining optimal texture.
