Skillet-Seared Steak Bites Garlic

# What You'll 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)

# Directions:

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

02 - Place a large heavy skillet over high heat and add the vegetable or canola oil. Heat until shimmering.

03 - Add steak cubes in a single layer; avoid overcrowding. Sear each side for 1–2 minutes until deeply browned and cooked through. Remove to a plate and loosely cover with foil.

04 - Reduce heat to medium-low, add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 30–60 seconds, stirring constantly without browning.

05 - Return steak bites to the skillet, tossing to coat with garlic butter. Stir in chopped parsley, thyme leaves, and red pepper flakes. Toss to blend flavors.

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