Ingredients
1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1. Pat the steak dry and cut it into 1 to 1.5-inch cubes. Season all sides with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Add the steak bites in a single layer. Sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Work in batches if needed.
4. Remove steak bites and set aside. Lower heat to medium.
5. In the same skillet, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Return the steak to the pan and toss in the garlic butter until fully coated.
7. Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan and stir gently to melt it into the sauce.
8. Turn off heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve hot with extra garlic butter from the pan.
Notes
Let the steak rest at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before cooking for more even searing.
Don’t skip drying the steak—moisture prevents the crust from forming properly.
Always add the garlic after searing the steak to avoid burning it.
