Pat the 12 ounces of sirloin steak dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch cubes and season evenly with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the seasoned steak bites to the pan in a single layer, making sure not to crowd the skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until a golden-brown crust forms. Work in batches if necessary.
Remove the steak bites from the pan and set aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in 2 minced cloves of garlic and 0.125 teaspoons of red pepper flakes. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss them in the garlic butter to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the steak reaches your desired doneness.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley over the steak bites.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or a crisp salad.
