1-Getting these steak bites just right is easier than you think, and I’ll walk you through it like we’re chatting in the kitchen. Start by pulling out your ingredients and a good skillet this is all about building flavors step by step. By the end, you’ll have a dish that looks and tastes like it came from a pro.

2-First things first, get your steak prepped. Cut 1½ pounds of sirloin into even bite-sized pieces so they cook uniformly; this helps avoid any tough spots. Don’t forget to pat them dry with a paper towel that’s a little trick to get a better sear and lock in those juices.

3-Next, season your steak with ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of pepper, rubbing it in for even coverage. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering. Add the steak in a single layer to avoid crowding, and let it sear for 2-3 minutes per side until it’s golden brown.

4-Once the steak has a nice crust, lower the heat to medium and toss in 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter along with 4 cloves of minced garlic. Stir everything around to let the garlic infuse the butter without burning it only takes a minute or so. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle in ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes at this point.

5-Keep cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the steak reaches your ideal doneness, like medium-rare for a tender bite. Finally, take it off the heat and mix in 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve it up hot, maybe with some rice or veggies on the side.
