Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds sirloin steak (rib eye or strip steak would work, too)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt (more if desired)
- ½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper (more if desired)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary (or fresh rosemary)
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes, about ¾ inches. Season the cubes with salt and pepper.1 ½ pounds sirloin steak, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add oil and swirl pan to coat bottom of pan with oil.1 tablespoon olive oil
- Add steak bites in an even single layer to the hot skillet (see note). Cook without stirring for 3 minutes. Stir and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the steak bites reach desired level of doneness. For medium-rare, cook them until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center (internal temperature of 130 to 135°F). Adjust the cooking time based on your preference.
- Transfer steak bites to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. (The internal temperature will continue to rise a few degrees.)
- Return pan to stove and reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter, garlic, and rosemary. Heat until butter is melted and garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 4 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
- Turn off heat, return steak to pan, and toss to coat in garlic butter. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Notes
- Cooking tip: The skillet should be hot before adding the steak. Don't overcrowd the pan. There should be a little space between the cubes of beef. If necessary, sear the steak in batches, adding oil as needed.
- Serving suggestions: Serve the garlic butter steak bites hot as an appetizer or main dish. They pair well with a side of vegetables and/or potatoes.
