Ingredients

  • 2 pounds steak (cut into bites)
  • salt and ground black pepper (to taste (season on the generous side))
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic (or more to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional for serving)

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep steak: Remove steak from fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Unwrap, cut into cubes (see notes at bottom of recipe for size recommendation) and season with salt and pepper. Let sit on plate on counter for 30 minutes. (For best results, do not skip this step.)

  2. 2

    Sear steak: Once ready, heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Add oil, then sear steak for around 2 minutes per side, until a nice, browned crust forms but middle stays tender. Work in batches if needed, do not overcrowd pan! Set seared steak bites aside on a plate and tent with foil.

  3. 3

    Make garlic butter: Once steak is done and set aside on a plate, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic to empty skillet. Heat about 2 minutes, until garlic is fragrant. Take off the heat.

  4. 4

    Finish: Add steak to skillet with garlic butter. Toss to coat. Serve immediately with chopped parsley, if desired.
