Ingredients
  

  • Top sirloin, tri-tip, ribeye, or strip steak (1 to 1 1/4 pounds), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • Kosher salt (3/4 tsp) and pepper (1/2 tsp)
  • Unsalted butter (3 tbsp, divided)
  • Garlic (4 to 6 cloves, chopped)
  • Fresh parsley (1 tbsp chopped, optional—use cilantro as a substitute)

Method
 

  1. Pat steak dry, season with salt and pepper, and let rest 5 minutes.
  2. Heat skillet for 3 minutes, add 1 tbsp butter, then sear steak in a single layer 3 minutes without moving.
  3. Flip steak and cook 2-3 minutes for medium doneness (140-145°F). Remove to a plate.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, melt 2 tbsp butter with garlic until aromatic. Scrape browned bits from the pan.
  5. Return steak to the pan, toss to coat with sauce, transfer to a serving dish, and garnish with parsley.

Notes

Use a 12-inch skillet for even searing.
Adjust garlic quantity to taste.
Let steak rest 5 minutes before serving for juicier results.
Serve with roasted potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.
