Calories: 74kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ pound sirloin steak cut into bite size pieces
- salt and pepper to taste fresh ground
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon parsley fresh chopped
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat it over high heat. Make sure the olive oil is hot, then add the steak pieces to it.
- Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook for at least 2 minutes to get brown on one side before you flip.
- Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until they're golden brown.
- Do not crowd the steak - you will probably do this in batches if your skillet isn’t very large.
- Transfer the steak bites to a plate and in the same skillet add the butter.
- Turn the heat down to a medium and after the butter has melted, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 30 seconds while stirring, just until the garlic becomes aromatic and starts to brown.
- Return the steak bites to the skillet and stir to coat.
- Garnish with parsley and serve.
Notes
Use a hot pan: High heat is key to getting that perfect sear without overcooking the inside.
Don’t overcrowd the skillet: Cook in batches if needed so the steak browns instead of steaming.
Pat the steak dry: Removing excess moisture helps create a better crust.
Cut evenly sized pieces: This ensures all the steak cooks at the same rate.
Don’t overcook: Steak bites cook quickly—just a couple minutes per side keeps them tender and juicy.
