Ingredients
  

Steak Preparation
  • 1.5 pounds sirloin steak Cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil Enhances flavor and prevents sticking.
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt Amplifies steak's natural flavor.
  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper Freshly cracked for warmth and depth.
Garlic Butter Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter (unsalted) Melts into a creamy sauce.
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced) Adds a fragrant punch.
  • 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes Provides subtle heat.
  • 1 tablespoon parsley (fresh, chopped) Adds color and freshness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the skillet: Add olive oil to a large skillet and warm over high heat.
  2. Sear the steak: Add steak pieces to the hot skillet, season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes undisturbed, then stir and cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Transfer the steak: Move the cooked steak bites to a plate and set aside.
  4. Prepare the garlic butter: In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and melt unsalted butter. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes; cook for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  5. Combine and serve: Pour garlic butter over steak bites, toss to coat, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Let steak rest for 30 minutes before cooking for even cooking. Don't overcrowd the pan; customize heat level with red pepper flakes; consider chicken or shrimp as protein alternatives.
