Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs sirloin or New York strip, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp neutral high-smoke point oil (Avocado or Grapeseed oil)
  • 1.5 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp coarsely cracked black pepper
  • 3 tbsp unsalted grass-fed butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp fresh rosemary, minced

Instructions:

  1. Pat the steak cubes extremely dry with paper towels to ensure a proper sear. Season with salt and pepper immediately before cooking.
  2. Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over high heat. Add the oil and wait until it is shimmering and just starting to smoke.
  3. Add the steak in a single layer, ensuring pieces do not touch. Leave undisturbed for 2 full minutes to develop a mahogany crust.
  4. Flip the steak bites and sear for another 2 minutes until browned on all sides (total sear time approximately 4 minutes).
  5. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter, minced garlic, and herbs to the pan.
  6. Tilt the pan and use a large spoon to baste the steak bites with the foaming garlic butter for 60 seconds before serving.
