Calories: 409kcal
Equipment
- 1 skillet medium sized
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound steak (ribeye or sirloin) cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium shallot
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Using a paper towel, pat the steak pieces dry. Season the steak with the spices. Heat the skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the olive oil first, then add the steak pieces in a single layer, leaving some room between each piece. Sear for 2-3 minutes or until browned, then turn over and sear the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove the steak bites to a separate plate. You may have to work in batches for this part.
- Reduce the heat to medium, and melt two tablespoons of butter in the hot skillet. Add the shallots and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the garlic and cook an additional 1 minute.
- Add the steak bites back into the pan with the remaining butter. Toss the steak in the garlic butter sauce for 3-4 minutes over medium heat, or until the steak is fully cooked. Add in fresh parsley, toss gently with the sauce, and serve.

Cooking Tips
- Pat the meat dry with paper towels before seasoning the steak and searing it. Moisture may cause the steak to steam instead of sear correctly.
- Try to cut the pieces into evenly sized bites. This ensures that they finish cooking at the same time.
- Make sure your skillet is hot before adding the steak, to get the best caramelization and flavor.
- Garlic can burn really fast, so only cook it for a minute or less before tossing in the butter and steak.
- Watch how long you have the steak in the pan, overcooking can result in a chewy texture.
