Ingredients
Scale
Steak
- 2 pounds sirloin steak, ribeye, or porterhouse
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
Sauce and Garnish
- 4 cloves of garlic (peeled and minced)
- 1/4 cup beef broth
- 4 tablespoons butter (cut into small pieces)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Trim and Cut Steak: Use a sharp knife to trim excess fat from the steaks, then cut into 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
- Season the Meat: Place the steak cubes in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, onion powder, black pepper, and brown sugar. Mix thoroughly to coat all meat pieces evenly with the seasonings.
- Sear the Steak Bites: Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the seasoned steak cubes and pan-fry until they are browned on all sides, developing a rich crust.
- Add Garlic Butter Sauce: Add the minced garlic, beef broth, butter pieces, and chopped parsley to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 3 minutes, allowing the butter to melt and create a flavorful sauce.
- Serve: Serve the garlic butter steak bites hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Notes
- Use a high smoke point oil like olive oil to get a good sear on the steak bites.
- Cut steak into uniform cubes for even cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper browning.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
- You can use ribeye or porterhouse steaks as alternatives for different textures and flavors.
