Instructions

Prepare the steak bites

Pat the steak bites dry.

Season the cubes generously with salt and pepper.

Heat your largest skillet over high heat until screaming hot. Pour in the oil.

Add the steak cubes in a single layer to the hot skillet, working in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Sear the steak bites for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they develop a nice crust. Transfer the bites to a bowl and cover with foil.

Make the garlic butter sauce

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and let it melt.

Add the minced garlic (plus rosemary and thyme, if using). Sauté, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute, until fragrant.

Combine and finish

Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for a minute or two until the steak bites are warmed through and coated in the sauce.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
