Tender, juicy sirloin steak bites seared to perfection and tossed in rich garlic butter — a restaurant-worthy appetizer made right at home in just minutes! Perfect for parties, gatherings, or a quick dinner.
Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Heat the Skillet:
In a large skillet over high heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil. - Sear the Steak:
Once the oil is hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper.
Sear on all sides until browned and cooked to your preferred doneness — about 2-4 minutes total (because they’re small, they cook quickly). - Add Garlic Butter:
Reduce heat slightly. Add 2 tablespoons butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir to melt the butter and coat the steak bites in garlicky goodness. - Garnish & Serve:
Remove from heat. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
