Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
Fats and Aromatics:
- 4 tablespoons (57 grams) butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Garnish:
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Warm a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it radiates intense warmth.
- Gently melt the butter, allowing it to become silky and shimmer across the pan’s surface.
- Introduce minced garlic, stirring continuously for 30-45 seconds until its aromatic essence fills the kitchen.
- Carefully place seasoned steak morsels into the bubbling butter, ensuring each piece has ample space to caramelize.
- Allow meat to sear undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, developing a rich golden-brown exterior.
- Flip each morsel to cook the opposite side, maintaining a consistent high temperature to lock in succulent juices.
- Monitor cooking progression, adjusting heat to achieve preferred doneness – typically 3-4 minutes for medium-rare.
- Remove skillet from heat and let steak bites rest momentarily to redistribute internal moisture.
- Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley across the glistening steak bites, adding a vibrant touch of color and herbaceous brightness.
- Transfer immediately to serving platter, drizzling remaining garlic butter over the top for enhanced flavor complexity.
Notes
- Choose a well-marbled cut like ribeye or sirloin for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Pat steak pieces dry with paper towels to ensure perfect golden-brown searing and prevent steaming.
- Add a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to enhance the umami depth of the garlic butter sauce.
- For a low-carb or keto-friendly option, use grass-fed butter and serve with roasted vegetables instead of traditional sides.
