Preparation

• Cut the steak into approximately 1 ½-inch pieces and pat them dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on all sides.
• Heat a large (12-inch) stainless steel or cast iron skillet over medium heat for about 3 minutes, then add 1 tablespoon of butter. When the butter begins to sizzle and brown, add the steak bites in a single layer.
• Sear the steak bites for about 3 minutes without moving them. Flip and sear for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until browned and medium doneness.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and chopped garlic to the pan. Sauté until the garlic is cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and add the steak bites back to the pan, tossing to coat evenly with the garlic butter.
• Transfer the steak bites to a serving dish, sprinkle with parsley if using, and serve immediately.
