Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely. Set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
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.
Flip the steak bites and sear the other side for another 2 minutes. Reduce the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the unsalted butter to the skillet.
Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, ensuring not to let the garlic burn.
Add salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir the steak bites to coat them evenly in the garlic butter sauce.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the steak bites.
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.
