Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Pat the steak cubes completely dry with paper towels. Note: This ensures the mahogany crust forms quickly.
  2. Toss them in a bowl with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until it just begins to smoke.
  4. Add the beef in a single layer. Note: Do not crowd the pan or the meat will steam.
  5. Let the meat sit undisturbed for 2 minutes until a dark mahogany crust forms, then flip and sear the other sides for another 2 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to medium.
  7. Add 3 tbsp unsalted butter, 4 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, and 1 tbsp fresh thyme to the skillet.
  8. As the butter foams, use tongs to spoon the bubbling herb butter over the steak bites for 1-2 minutes until they reach your desired doneness.
