Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 pounds steak, cut into small bite-size pieces
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- Green onion, for garnish
Instructions
- Season the steak: In a mixing bowl, combine the steak bites with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well until the steak pieces are evenly coated with the seasonings.
- Cook the steak bites: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the avocado oil. Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown all sides. You may need to cook in batches depending on skillet size. Remove browned steak from the pan and set aside.
- Prepare garlic butter sauce: Remove any excess water from the skillet. Add the butter or ghee, then immediately add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant but not burnt.
- Combine steak with sauce: Return the cooked steak bites to the pan with the garlic butter. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to coat the steak in the flavorful sauce.
- Finish and serve: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Garnish with green onions before serving immediately for best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a high smoke point oil like avocado or canola oil for best searing results.
- Steak can be ribeye, sirloin, or your preferred cut; just make sure it’s trimmed and cut bite-size.
- Cook in batches if your skillet is small to avoid overcrowding and steaming the meat.
- For milder spice, omit the red pepper flakes or adjust quantity to your taste.
- Substitute butter with ghee for a dairy-free option.
- Serve immediately as steak bites are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
