Ingredients

Scale

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp chopped garlic (about 3 cloves)
Salt & pepper to taste (about 1 tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper)
Optional: parsley, red pepper flakes, lemon zest

Chef Swaps & Hacks

Ribeye for extra richness
Ghee or vegan butter for dairy-free
Add 1 tbsp Worcestershire for deep umami

Instructions

Prep Steak: Pat cubes dry, season with salt & pepper. Optional: toss with 1 tsp cornstarch for crispy crust.
Sear: Heat oil in skillet over high heat. In batches, sear steak 1.5 mins per side without crowding. Transfer to plate.
Garlic Butter: Lower heat to medium. Melt butter, add garlic—sauté 30 secs until fragrant.
Glaze: Return steak and juices to pan. Toss 1 min to coat. Finish with parsley or lemon zest.
Serve Hot: Best eaten immediately over mashed potatoes, rice, or with crusty bread.

Notes

Let pan get very hot before searing
Don’t overcrowd or stir too soon—let crust form
Add garlic after butter melts to avoid burning
