Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean beef steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Start by trimming excess fat from the beef steak to keep it lean. Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
Step 2
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Let them sear for about 2-3 minutes on one side until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust.
Step 5
Flip the steak bites and sear the other side for another 2 minutes. Reduce the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the unsalted butter to the skillet.
Step 7
Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring not to let the garlic burn.
Step 8
Add salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir the steak bites to coat them evenly in the garlic butter sauce.
Step 9
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the steak bites.
Step 10
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve immediately with a side of your choice, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
