Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1½ pounds sirloin steak (cut into bite-sized pieces; you can also use strip loin, tenderloin, rib-eye, or strip steak)
• ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Steak:
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
   • Ensure the oil is hot, then add the steak pieces.
   • Season the steak generously with salt and pepper.
   • Let the steak cook for about 2 minutes without stirring, allowing a good sear to form.
   • Stir the steak and cook for another 2 minutes, until the pieces are golden brown. If the skillet is small, you may need to cook in batches.
   • Once the steak is cooked, transfer it to a plate.
2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add butter and reduce the heat to medium.
   • Once the butter is melted, add the garlic and red pepper flakes.
   • Cook for about 30 seconds, stirring occasionally, until the garlic becomes fragrant and starts to brown.
3. Combine and Serve:
   • Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter sauce.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:

• Pat the steak dry with paper towels before cutting into bite-sized pieces for better browning and a delicious crust.
• Preheat the pan well before adding the steak for an even sear.
• Cook the steak in batches if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the pan and causing the meat to steam.
• Let the steak rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep the juices in and enhance its tenderness.
• Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to keep them juicy.
