Cooking Instructions
- Pat the steak cubes dry thoroughly with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- Season the steak evenly with salt and black pepper.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
- Add the steak cubes in a single layer without overcrowding. Sear for about 2 minutes without stirring.
- Flip the steak bites and sear the other side for another 2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Add the butter and let it melt until it begins to bubble.
- Stir in the minced garlic and chopped thyme. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter to coat them evenly.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- For the best sear, make sure the skillet is very hot before adding the steak.
- Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed to avoid steaming.
- Use a cast iron skillet for maximum browning and flavor.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice at the end for brightness if desired.
