1 stick salted butter at room temperature
1½ cloves garlic minced (or 2 small cloves; adjust according to your preference)
1 Tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Pat sirloin steak dry. Cut into bite-size cubes.
2 pounds sirloin steak
Season the steak generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Give each piece a good coating.
kosher salt, black pepper
Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat. Once hot, add steak in a single layer. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan! It's best to cook in batches so the steak sears properly.
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Cook steak cubes for about 2 minutes without stirring. After 2 minutes, give them a stir and cook for a few more minutes until browned on all sides and done to your liking. Be sure to use a meat thermometer and my temperature chart for beef to track the internal temp of the steak.
Remove steak cubes from the skillet to a serving dish. If cooking in batches, be sure to add a bit more olive oil to the pan before cooking the next batch.
To create garlic butter, mix softened salted butter with chopped parsley and garlic until completely combined.
1 stick salted butter, 1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, 1½ cloves garlic
Reduce the heat to medium once done cooking the steak. Add garlic butter to melt the butter, then pour over the steak bites. Toss the steak with the butter sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and enjoy!
1 Tablespoon fresh parsley

Be sure to pat the steak dry in step 1 to ensure a nice sear.
Season generously! Sea salt or kosher salt works best.
Cast iron skillets are ideal for cooking steak bites, but use whichever large non-stick skillet you have on hand.
Cook in batches and don't overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding will lead to the steak not browning properly.
