Ingredients
-
1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
-
3 tbsp unsalted butter
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
-
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
-
Salt, to taste
-
Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Prep the steak: Cut the steak into uniform 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
-
Heat the skillet: Place a heavy-bottomed skillet (like cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and heat until shimmering.
-
Sear the steak: Add steak cubes in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned. Work in batches if necessary.
-
Add garlic and butter: Reduce heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and butter. Let the butter melt and garlic become fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Finish with herbs: Stir in chopped rosemary and thyme. Toss steak bites to coat evenly. Cook for 1 more minute.
-
Serve hot: Remove from heat. Let steak rest for 2–3 minutes, then serve immediately
Notes
-
Let steak come to room temperature before cooking for the best sear.
-
Fresh herbs are best, but you can use ½ tsp dried rosemary and thyme if needed.
-
Add red chili flakes for a bit of heat or swap in parsley for a milder herb finish.
-
Serve with grilled potatoes, roasted vegetables, or garlic rice for a complete meal.
