  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds beef sirloin or flank steak, cubed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Start by trimming any excess fat from the beef and cutting it into bite-sized cubes. Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the fresh thyme or rosemary and stir well.
  4. Return the beef to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overcrowd the skillet to get a good sear on the beef.
  • You can substitute beef with chicken breasts or pork tenderloin, adjusting cooking times accordingly.
  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
