Ingredients

• Sirloin steak (or ribeye), cut into 1-inch cubes500 g
• Ghee or butter60 g
• Garlic, minced2 cloves
• Sea salt1 tsp
• Black pepper (optional)0.5 tsp

Method

1. Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper (if using). This helps achieve a good sear.
2. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat until very hot.
3. Add 2 tablespoons of the ghee or butter to the hot skillet. Once melted, add the steak cubes in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook in batches to ensure a good sear.
4. Sear the steak for 1-2 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms. For medium-rare, aim for about 2-3 minutes total, turning frequently. Adjust cook time for desired doneness.
5. Reduce the heat to low. Add the remaining 4 tablespoons of ghee or butter and the minced garlic to the pan. Allow the butter to melt and the garlic to become fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
6. Carefully spoon the melted garlic butter over the steak bites for about 30 seconds, ensuring each piece is coated in the delicious sauce.
7. Remove from heat and serve immediately, letting the rich garlic butter sauce coat every bite. These are perfect on their own for a hearty, protein-packed meal.
