Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ pounds (680g) beef sirloin or ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter
- 6 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the steak Pat the beef cubes completely dry with paper towels—this is essential for achieving a perfect sear. Season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, tossing to ensure all sides are evenly coated. Let the seasoned meat rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to take the chill off and allow the salt to penetrate the meat.
- Step 2: Heat your pan Place a large cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over high heat until it’s very hot—about 2-3 minutes. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat the surface. The oil should shimmer and move easily around the pan, indicating it’s reached the proper temperature for searing.
- Step 3: Sear the steak bites Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, add about half the steak bites to the hot pan in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Let them sear undisturbed for 45-60 seconds until a deep brown crust forms on the bottom. Quickly flip each piece and sear for another 30-45 seconds for medium-rare. Transfer to a clean plate and repeat with remaining steak bites.
- Step 4: Create the garlic butter sauce Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the same pan, allowing it to melt while scraping up the flavorful brown bits from the bottom. When the butter is melted and just starting to foam, add the minced garlic and cook for 30-45 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Add the rosemary, thyme, and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine.
- Step 5: Finish the dish Return the steak bites and any accumulated juices to the pan, tossing to coat each piece in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for just 30 seconds more, gently tossing to ensure all the steak bites are coated. Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, red pepper flakes if using, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Give everything a final toss and serve your **Tender Steak Bites in Garlic Butter** immediately while hot and sizzling.
