Ingredients
1.5 lb steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Cut the steak into cubes and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak pieces in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
3. Remove steak from the skillet and reduce heat to medium.
4. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Return steak to the pan and toss in the garlic butter to coat. Cook for 1 more minute to heat through.
6. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
Let the skillet get hot before adding the steak for a good sear.
Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the meat.
Use fresh garlic for the best flavor—jarred just doesn’t compare.
