Ingredients

  • —olive oil · for the skillet
  • —sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • —salt
  • —pepper
  • 1 stickbutter · doubled from the cookbook amount for a double batch of steak
  • —garlic · a lot, freshly chopped
  • —fresh parsley · for topping

Steps

  1. 1

    Heat a cast iron skillet with some olive oil until the oil and pan are screaming hot.

  2. 2

    While the pan heats, season the sirloin steak bites generously with salt and pepper, tossing until well coated — add more if needed.

  3. 3

    Add the steak bites to the hot pan and spread them into an even layer so nothing overlaps and everything can form a crust.

  4. 4

    Sear about 3 to 4 minutes per side, until crusted and nearly cooked through.

  5. 5

    Pull the steak out of the pan and set aside.

  6. 6

    Add the butter and chopped garlic to the pan and sauté until the garlic is cooked through and no longer raw.

  7. 7

    Return the steak to the pan and toss to coat in the garlic butter sauce, allowing the steak to finish cooking.

  8. 8

    Top with fresh parsley and serve straight from the pan.

Creator's notes

Jessica is cooking from her own cookbook, Of Course It's Good, and doubles the recipe — twice the steak means twice the butter and garlic. She prefers chopping fresh garlic for steak and sautés it because she isn't a fan of raw garlic.
