Skillet-Seared Steak Bites Garlic

# What You Need:

→ Steak

01 - 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

02 - 1 tsp kosher salt

03 - 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

04 - 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

→ For Searing

05 - 2 tbsp vegetable oil or canola oil

→ Garlic Butter

06 - 4 tbsp unsalted butter

07 - 5 garlic cloves, minced

08 - 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

09 - 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)

10 - 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

# How To Make It:

01 - Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season evenly with kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and smoked paprika if using.

02 - Heat a large, heavy skillet over high heat until hot and shimmering. Add vegetable or canola oil.

03 - Place steak cubes in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear each side for 1 to 2 minutes until deeply caramelized and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil.

04 - Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter to skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to prevent browning.

05 - Return steak cubes to skillet and toss to coat in garlic butter. Add parsley, thyme, and red pepper flakes, then toss again to combine.

06 - Serve immediately, spooning extra garlic butter over the steak bites.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -

It tastes like steakhouse quality but takes less time than ordering delivery.
The garlic butter clings to every surface and makes even the pickiest eaters ask for seconds.
You can prep everything in advance and sear it right before serving, so youre not stuck in the kitchen during dinner.

02 -

Dont move the steak around while its searing or youll never get a good crust, just let it sit and develop that deep brown color.
Pull the steak off the heat when its still a little pink inside because it will continue cooking while it rests, and overcooked steak bites turn rubbery.
