Ingredients

Scale

Steak and Seasoning

  • 1 lb tender steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Cooking Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak: Cut your steak into evenly sized bite-sized cubes to ensure consistent cooking. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to achieve a good sear later on. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Sear the Steak Bites: Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak bites in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a rich brown crust, then turn and sear the other sides until the steak reaches your preferred doneness.
  3. Make the Garlic Butter: Reduce the heat to medium and add butter along with freshly minced garlic in the same skillet. Stir frequently until the garlic becomes fragrant and lightly golden, infusing the butter with deep flavor.
  4. Combine and Melt the Cheese: Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing gently in the garlic butter to coat thoroughly. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet briefly to allow the cheese to melt perfectly over the succulent steak cubes.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling fresh chopped parsley on top for a touch of brightness and a pop of color. Serve immediately to enjoy the gooey, flavorful goodness at its best.

Notes

  • Choose quality, tender steak cuts like sirloin or ribeye for juicy and flavorful bites.
  • Pat the steak dry before searing to get a perfect crust instead of steaming.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook steak bites in batches if necessary for even browning.
  • Use fresh garlic for the most vibrant and aromatic flavor.
  • Cover the skillet briefly to melt cheese evenly over the steak bites.
  • Serve immediately after cooking for the best texture and taste.
