Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1½ pound sirloin steak cut into bite size pieces, or strip loin, tenderloin, strip steak or rib eye
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- 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 them generously with salt and pepper.
- Cook for at least 2 minutes before stirring the steak pieces. You want to make sure you get a good sear on them. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until they're golden brown. If your skillet isn't big enough, you may need to do this batches.
- 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.
- Pour the garlic butter over the steak bites and toss well. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Notes
- Pat the steak dry before cooking, no moisture = better crust.
- Use a hot pan and don’t stir too soon, let it sear.
- Garlic goes in after the steak to avoid burning.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan, cook in batches if needed.
- Red pepper flakes are optional, but they give a nice little kick.
