Ingredients
2poundssirloin steak
1tablespoonsolive oil
½teaspooncracked black pepper
½teaspoonsalt
¼cupunsalted butter
5cloves garlic,minced
½teaspoonItalian seasoning
1tablespoonfresh parsley,finely chopped
Instructions
Chop steak into cubes about 2 inches in size. Toss steak in salt and pepper.
Place olive oil in a large frying pan and heat over high heat.
Place some steak in the frying pan only until you have a single layer of steak. Don’t add all of it at once and work in batches so that you’re cooking single layers until all the steak is cooked. Fry each batch for about 4 to 5 minutes until thoroughly cooked. As each batch is cooked, place it in a serving dish.
Once all the steak is cooked and in the serving dish, use the same frying pan to prepare the butter mixture. Place the butter, garlic, and Italian seasoning into the frying pan over medium-high heat and cook until melted and garlic is slightly browning (no more than 2 minutes).
Pour the butter mixture over steak bites and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle parsley over to garnish.

Notes
Because butter can burn at high heat, using the olive oil to cook the steak and preparing the garlic butter separately will ensure that everything cooks perfectly at the temperature that is best for each component.
Try not to stir the steak bites for the first minute or so to allow the pieces to get a nice sear on them to lock in the juicy flavor.
