Ingredients

For the Steak Bites

  • 1½ pounds top sirloin steak, cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

For the Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels and place them in a bowl.
  2. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat.
  4. Add steak cubes in a single layer, working in batches if needed.
  5. Sear for 1–2 minutes without moving, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until browned.
  6. Transfer steak bites to a plate and set aside.
  7. Reduce heat to medium low and add butter to the skillet.
  8. Once melted, stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  9. Add Worcestershire sauce and thyme, stirring to combine.
  10. Return steak bites to the skillet and toss until coated in the garlic butter sauce.
  11. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the best crust, make sure the steak is completely dry before cooking.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper searing.
  • Use an instant read thermometer for perfect doneness.
  • Ribeye, New York strip, or tenderloin can be used instead of sirloin.
