Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb New York strip steak (Trimmed of excess fat, cut into 1‑inch cubes)
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil (For coating the steak pieces)
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted butter (Cut into pieces for quick melting)
  • 4 cloves Garlic cloves (Pressed or minced)
  • 1 small Shallot (Finely minced)
  • 1 tsp Fresh rosemary (Finely chopped)
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (Chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Trim and cube the steak

    Remove excess fat from the New York strip, then cut the meat into roughly 1‑inch bite‑size cubes.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Pat dry and season

    Place the steak cubes on a paper towel, pat them completely dry, drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper over the meat and mix gently.

    Time: PT3M

  3. Pre‑heat the skillet

    Put the cast‑iron skillet on the stove over high heat. Add a thin layer of olive oil and let it shimmer.

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: high heat (≈450°F)

  4. Sear the steak bites – first side

    Add the seasoned steak cubes in a single layer, giving each piece space. Let them sear without moving for about 1 minute.

    Time: PT1M

    Temperature: high heat (≈450°F)

  5. Flip and finish searing

    Using tongs, flip the cubes and cook the other side for another 1–2 minutes, depending on desired doneness (1 minute for medium‑rare, up to 2 minutes for well‑done).

    Time: PT2M

    Temperature: high heat (≈450°F)

  6. Remove steak and set aside

    Transfer the cooked steak bites to a plate and set aside while you make the sauce.

    Time: PT1M

  7. Prepare garlic‑butter sauce

    Reduce heat to medium. Add the butter to the same skillet and melt. Stir in the pressed garlic, minced shallot, chopped rosemary, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring, until the shallot softens and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.

    Time: PT3M

    Temperature: medium heat (≈350°F)

  8. Combine steak with sauce

    Return the steak bites and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly in the garlic‑butter sauce. Add chopped parsley, give a final stir, and remove from heat.

    Time: PT2M

  9. Serve

    Plate the garlic butter steak bites immediately while hot. Optionally garnish with extra parsley.

    Time: PT1M

Critical Success Points

  • Pat the steak cubes completely dry before searing.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet; give each bite space.
  • Control the heat when melting butter to avoid burning.

Safety Warnings

  • The cast‑iron skillet will be extremely hot; use oven mitts.
  • Be careful when pressing garlic – the press can slip.
  • Hot butter can splatter; keep face away from the pan.
