Instructions

  1. Step 1: Trim excess fat from 12 oz ribeye steak and cut into 1.5-inch cubes. Season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley; set aside to soften and meld flavors.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Add the steak cubes in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until the edges are nicely browned and the center is medium rare to medium.
  5. Step 5: Reduce heat to low, add the garlic herb butter mixture to the pan and toss the steak bites for 1 minute, allowing the butter to melt and coat the meat with fragrant garlic and parsley flavors.
  6. Step 6: Remove from heat and serve immediately, spooning any remaining garlic butter from the pan over the steak bites.
