Ingredients
For the Steak
- 1 lb Steak (Sirloin/Ribeye/Tri-Tip) Choose tender cuts for the juiciest results.
For the Sauce
- 6 cloves Garlic (minced) Fresh garlic adds the best savory depth and flavor.
- 4 tbsp Butter (unsalted) Consider using ghee for a higher smoke point.
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil Substitute with vegetable or avocado oil if needed.
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce Essential for authentic taste.
- 1 tsp Fresh Thyme Italian seasoning can be a suitable alternative.
- 1 tsp Fresh Rosemary These aromatic herbs elevate the flavor.
For Seasoning
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder Enhances the garlic flavor.
- 1 tsp Onion Powder Adds depth to the seasoning.
- ½ tsp Smoked Paprika Introduces a smoky richness.
- 1 tsp Salt Essential for amplifying all the flavors.
- ½ tsp Black Pepper Freshly ground is preferable.
Instructions
Preparation
- Remove the steak from the fridge, pat it dry with paper towels, and cut it into 1-inch cubes against the grain.
- In a bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this blend all over the steak cubes.
- Place a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Drizzle in olive oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
- Add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Sear for about 2 minutes until a golden crust forms.
- Sear the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes, targeting a medium-rare doneness.
- Remove the seared steak bites from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. Lower the heat to medium.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, scraping the browned bits off the bottom.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, fresh thyme, and rosemary. Let it simmer for about 30 seconds.
- Return the seared steak bites back to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the garlic butter sauce. Heat through for an additional minute.
- Garnish your steak bites with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
For a nutritious addition, serve with a side of roasted broccoli. Pat steak dry before seasoning to allow for a golden crust. Rest the steak briefly after cooking for juiciness.
