Ingredients

Main ingredients

1.5 lbs Sirloin steak, Ribeye, or New York Strip (cut into 1-inch cubes) Choose your preferred cut of steak.
2 tablespoons olive oil For searing.
4 tablespoons unsalted butter For making garlic butter sauce.
5 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic for maximum flavor.
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) Seasoning to enhance flavors.
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper Freshly cracked for best taste.
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or thyme Choose your preferred herb.
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.

Method

Preparation

Pat the steak cubes dry with a paper towel.
In a medium bowl, toss the steak cubes with salt, pepper, and dried oregano until evenly coated.

Cooking

Place a large cast-iron skillet or heavy frying pan over high heat. Add olive oil and wait until shimmering.
Add the steak bites to the pan in a single layer. Cook in two batches if necessary.
Let the steak sear undisturbed for about 2 minutes to develop a dark brown crust.
Flip the pieces and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until browned on all sides.
Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter and minced garlic to the pan.
Stir steak bites constantly for about 1 minute so that garlic becomes fragrant and the butter coats each piece. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the pan from the heat immediately, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
