Instructions
Preparation Steps
Pat the steak dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a good sear.
In a medium bowl, toss the steak cubes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt.
Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, add the steak bites to the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Sear the steak bites for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is typically recommended).
Sprinkle with dried thyme during the last minute of cooking.
Remove steak bites from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before serving.
Notes
These steak bites are perfect as an appetizer, a quick weeknight meal, or a flavorful addition to salads.
