Instructions :

1Begin by preparing your ingredients: cut the sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the fresh parsley.
2Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, allowing it to heat until shimmering.
3Season the steak pieces generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste preference.
4Carefully add the steak pieces to the hot skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
5Sear the steak bites for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, without moving them, to develop a nice crust.
6Flip the steak pieces and sear for another 2-3 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
7Once the steak bites are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
8Reduce the heat to medium and add 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet.
9As the butter melts, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
10Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, mixing well to combine with the garlic butter sauce.
11Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the garlic butter sauce to coat evenly.
12Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley over the steak bites for added flavor and garnish.
13Serve the garlic butter steak bites immediately, ensuring to spoon the extra garlic butter sauce over them for enhanced taste.

Notes :

  • Choose a quality sirloin steak for best results, ensuring it is fresh and ideally well-marbled for tenderness and flavor.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the steak into uniform bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Mince the garlic finely to release its full flavor and aroma during cooking.
  • Fresh parsley is recommended for its vibrant flavor; chop it finely to evenly distribute in the dish.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet, such as cast iron, for even heat distribution and optimal searing of the steak bites.
  • Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding the oil, as this helps achieve a good sear on the steak.
  • Overcrowding the pan can lead to steaming rather than searing the steak, so cook in batches if necessary.
  • For best flavor, let the steak develop a crust by not moving it around the pan while searing.
  • Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the steak pieces and your preferred level of doneness.
  • Resting the steak bites after cooking allows the juices to redistribute, enhancing tenderness.
  • Use unsalted butter to better control the salt content of your dish.
  • Stir the garlic continuously to prevent it from burning and becoming bitter.
  • The lemon juice adds brightness and balance to the richness of the garlic butter sauce.
  • Coat the steak bites thoroughly in the sauce for maximum flavor distribution.
  • Garnish with parsley just before serving to maintain its fresh, bright flavor and color.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the steak bites at their peak flavor and temperature.

Tips :

  • Choose a high-quality sirloin steak for better flavor and tenderness.
  • Let the steak come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the steak into even bite-sized pieces for uniform cooking.
  • Ensure the skillet is hot enough before adding the steak to achieve a good sear.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming the steak instead of searing.
  • Pat the steak pieces dry with a paper towel to promote a better crust.
  • Use freshly ground black pepper for a more robust flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan for even heat distribution.
  • Avoid moving the steak pieces while searing to allow a proper crust to form.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the doneness if you're unsure: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium.
  • Let the steak rest on a plate after cooking to allow juices to redistribute.
  • Adjust the heat to medium before adding butter to prevent it from burning.
  • Use fresh garlic for a more aromatic and flavorful garlic butter sauce.
  • Stir the garlic frequently to avoid burning, which can make it bitter.
  • Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a slight kick if desired.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for a brighter, fresher taste.
  • Toss the steak bites in the sauce quickly to ensure they are evenly coated.
  • Add parsley just before serving to maintain its color and freshness.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the steak at its juiciest and most flavorful.
  • Spoon any leftover sauce over the steak bites for extra flavor.
  • Pair with crusty bread or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
