Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) sirloin steak
- 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tbsps (56 g) butter, divided
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp (3 g) fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preparation: Allow steak to reach room temperature for even cooking, then slice into uniform one-inch cubes.
- Seasoning: Generously massage salt and freshly ground black pepper into meat surfaces to enhance flavor profile.
- Searing Setup: Heat heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high flame, adding olive oil and butter to create a perfect golden-brown foundation.
- Cooking Technique: Strategically place meat cubes in pan, ensuring adequate spacing for optimal caramelization, searing approximately two minutes per side to achieve desired doneness.
- Batch Processing: Complete initial searing, transferring cooked portions to a holding plate while maintaining consistent cooking technique for remaining cubes.
- Garlic Infusion: Reduce pan temperature, introduce remaining butter and finely minced garlic, creating a rich, aromatic sauce by stirring continuously.
- Final Integration: Reunite steak bites with garlic butter, gently tossing to ensure complete coating and temperature equilibrium.
- Presentation: Plate the succulent steak bites, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley to add a vibrant, herbaceous finishing touch.
Notes
- Bring Meat to Room Temperature: Allow steak to sit out for 30 minutes before cooking to ensure even heat distribution and more consistent doneness.
- Cut Uniform Cubes: Precise one-inch cuts guarantee balanced cooking and attractive presentation, preventing some pieces from overcooking while others remain underdone.
- Avoid Overcrowding Pan: Space steak bites carefully to achieve perfect caramelization, preventing steaming and ensuring a delectable golden-brown exterior.
- Master Garlic Timing: Lower heat when adding garlic to prevent burning, creating a rich, aromatic butter sauce that elevates the entire dish’s flavor profile.
