Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs (680g) Top Sirloin Tips, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp (6g) Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) Coarse Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) Garlic Powder
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) High-Smoke Point Oil (Avocado or Grapeseed)
  • 3 tbsp (42g) Unsalted Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic, smashed
  • 2 sprigs Fresh Thyme or Rosemary

Instructions:

  1. Pat the steak tips bone-dry with paper towels to ensure a proper sear. Season all sides generously with kosher salt, coarse black pepper, and garlic powder. For best results, let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering and just beginning to smoke.
  3. Place the steak tips in the skillet in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded.
  4. Using tongs, flip the steak tips every 60 seconds. Continue this for 4–6 minutes until a deep brown crust has developed on all sides.
  5. During the final 2 minutes of cooking, add the unsalted butter, smashed garlic cloves, and fresh herbs to the pan. Tilt the pan slightly and spoon the foaming butter over the steak tips continuously until they reach your desired internal temperature.
  6. Remove the steak tips from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
