Equipment

  • medium mixing bowl
  • Silicone spatula
  • Cutting board
  • large chef's knife
  • Large skillet
  • Tongs
  • Large bowl

Ingredients

For the Garlic Butter

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • ½ tablespoon minced fresh garlic (approximately 1 large clove)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (more or less to taste)
  • freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

For the Steak

  • 2 pounds steak of choice
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil (or other neutral-flavored oil)

Serving Suggestions (All Optional)

  • ½ tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

For the Garlic Butter

  • Add ½ cup unsalted butter, ½ tablespoon minced fresh garlic, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper to medium mixing bowl. Stir ingredients together until fully incorporated. Set aside.

For the Steak

  • Place 2 pounds steak of choice on cutting board. Slice steak into bite-sized pieces, making sure to cut meat against grain.
  • Season pieces of steak heavily on all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set steak aside.
  • Place large skillet on stovetop over medium-high heat. When pan is warm, add 1 tablespoon avocado oil to skillet and continue heating pan until oil is hot and shimmery.
  • Place steak pieces in skillet in single even layer. Sear steak 2 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally to cook steak pieces on all sides.
  • Transfer browned steak to large bowl and set aside. Remove skillet from heat and let cool 1 to 2 minutes.
  • When skillet has cooled slightly, add prepared garlic butter to pan and return skillet to heat. Let butter melt completely.
  • Return steak to skillet. Cook steak 1 to 2 minutes, stirring often to coat steak in melted butter.
  • When steak is fully coated in melted butter, remove skillet from heat. Divide steak into desired servings. Sprinkle ½ tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley over steak to garnish, then serve steak warm with preferred sides.

Recipe Notes

  • Steak: Sirloin works fine here, and filet mignon is also an excellent choice.
  • To Slice Steak: Locate parallel lines of muscle fibers running through meat. Position knife perpendicular to muscle fibers and slice steak into bite-sized pieces.
