Main ingredients

  • 1 lb Steak (sirloin or New York strip) Cube it up nice and chunky.
  • 4 tbsp Butter Real butter, not margarine.
  • 4 cloves Fresh garlic None of that powdered fluff.
  • 1 juice Lemon juice Use a real lemon for best flavor.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon zest Got to use the zest for extra flavor.
  • 1 tsp Salt Kosher salt preferred.
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper To taste.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley Chopped for garnish.

Instructions
 

Cooking

  • Heat a pan until it's almost smoking.
  • Add the cubed steak to the pan and let it sit for a moment to get a crispy edge.
  • Quickly flip the steak cubes.
  • Add the butter and minced garlic to the pan.
  • Cook until the steak is done to your liking (medium rare is recommended).
  • Pour in the lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest.
  • Swirl the pan to ensure all steak bites are coated.
  • Add the chopped parsley and gently toss to combine.
  • Serve immediately, or enjoy snacking on them straight from the pan.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure crispiness, and don’t burn the garlic by adding it too early.
