Ingredients You Need
The secret here is using a tender cut of beef like sirloin or tenderloin, and making sure your skillet is smoking hot before adding the meat so you get a proper sear without overcooking the inside.
How to Make It
Cut the steak into uniform cubes, season generously, and sear them quickly in a hot skillet. Then, turn down the heat and baste them in butter, minced garlic, and fresh parsley.
Tips for Success
Do not overcrowd the pan! If you put too many steak bites in at once, they will steam instead of sear. Cook in batches if necessary.
