Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs Sirloin steak (or Ribeye), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 5 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1/2 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
Instructions
- Start by patting the steak cubes dry with a paper towel. This is a crucial step to ensure a good sear. Place the cubes in a large bowl and toss them with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until every piece is evenly coated.
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is smoking hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a brown crust forms. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until the garlic is fragrant and slightly golden, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the cooked steak bites back into the skillet. Toss the meat in the garlic butter for about 1 minute so the flavors can meld together. Turn off the heat immediately to prevent the steak from overcooking.
- Sprinkle the fresh chopped parsley over the top and give it one final stir. Serve immediately while the butter is hot and the steak is tender.
