Ingredients
  

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried rosemary)

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, finely chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Steak: Begin by generously seasoning the cubed sirloin steak with salt and black pepper, ensuring every piece is well coated. Allow the steak to rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This ensures even cooking and enhances the flavor and tenderness of the meat.

    Heat the Pan: In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Wait until the oil is shimmering but not smoking; this indicates that it's hot enough for searing.

      Sear the Steak: Carefully add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan—work in batches if necessary. Sear the steak for about 2-3 minutes on each side. You want them to develop a beautiful brown crust while achieving your preferred doneness (medium-rare is typically 135°F, medium is 145°F). Use tongs to turn them for even cooking.

        Add Garlic and Herbs: Once the steak bites are seared, reduce the heat to medium. Shift the steak to one side of the skillet to create space. In the open side, add the butter, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, and thyme. Allow the butter to melt and the garlic to become fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

          Toss Everything Together: With the garlic butter bubbling, toss the steak bites into the pan so they are coated evenly in the succulent garlic butter mixture. Let them cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the finely chopped parsley for a fresh pop of flavor. Plate the steak bites immediately, drizzling any remaining garlic butter from the pan over the top for that extra burst of deliciousness.

                Presentation Tips: Serve the steak bites in a rustic cast iron skillet or on a wooden board for a hearty look. Add a few sprigs of fresh herbs on top for an elegant touch and serve with crusty bread to soak up the leftover garlic butter.
