Ingredients
Gathering the right ingredients is half the fun. Here’s what you’ll need to make these delectable bites:
- 1 pound of sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon of butter
If you find yourself without fresh parsley, dried parsley can work in a pinch — just use half the amount. For those who enjoy a bit of heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes can add an exciting kick.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to create your own Garlic Herb Steak Bites:
- Start by patting the steak cubes dry with paper towels. This will help them sear beautifully.
- Season the steak cubes generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the steak cubes in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they develop a nice crust. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook for about 1 minute, letting the garlic become fragrant without burning.
- Toss the steak cubes in the garlic-herb butter, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the steak bites with freshly chopped parsley. Give everything a final toss to combine.
- Transfer the steak bites to a serving dish and enjoy hot.
Cooking, as my abuela would say, is an art that relies on your senses. Listen to the sizzle, watch for that golden crust, and smell the aroma of garlic and herbs filling your kitchen. Trust yourself and enjoy the process!
