One-Pan Garlic Herb Steak (Print view)

Tender steak bites tossed in garlic butter and fresh herbs, ready in minutes for easy summer meals.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Steak & Marinade

01 - 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
04 - 1 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Aromatics & Herbs

06 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
08 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
09 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

→ Optional Garnish

10 - Lemon wedges, for serving

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Combine sirloin cubes with olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss to evenly coat and allow to marinate at room temperature for at least 10 minutes.
02 - Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
03 - Arrange steak cubes in a single layer without crowding. Sear undisturbed for 2–3 minutes, then turn and cook an additional 2 minutes until browned and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary for best results.
04 - Reduce heat to medium. Move steak bites to one side of the pan. Add unsalted butter and minced garlic, stirring until garlic is aromatic, about 30 seconds.
05 - Toss steak bites with garlic butter. Sprinkle chopped parsley and thyme over the steak. Serve immediately with lemon wedges as garnish.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • One skillet means minimal mess and maximum flavor&mdashyou&rsquoll thank yourself afterward.
  • Perfect for those nights you want a restaurant-worthy steak experience without waiting for special occasions.
02 -
  • Overcrowding the pan will steam the steak&mdashalways cook in batches for a golden crust.
  • Add garlic after searing, not earlier, or it will burn and turn bitter.
03 -
  • Don&rsquot rush the steak sear&mdashleave it undisturbed for stronger flavor.
  • Adding butter only after searing keeps it from burning and adds richness without bitterness.
