Equipment

  • Skillet
  • knife
  • paper towels
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 lb sirloin tip, strip or ribeye
  • 1¼ teaspoon coarse kosher salt, divided
  • 1¼ teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced, finely chopped
  • ⅛ cup parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
  • ½ lemon , juiced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • ½ teaspoon dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces. Dry off the pieces with a paper towel. Set aside for 20 minutes.
  • Season the steak with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper.
  • Allow the skillet to get hot over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the avocado oil to the skillet. Allow the oil to get hot for 1-2 minutes.
  • Transfer the steak to the skillet on medium to high heat.
  • Cook both sides until golden brown. This should take 2-3 minutes. If you try to get all 6 sides golden brown, your steak will cook much longer and will be tougher.
  • Immediately transfer the steak to a plate.
  • To the skillet, add the remainder of the ingredients.
  • Simmer for 3 minutes.
  • Turn the heat off and transfer the steak back to the skillet. Toss until the steak is coated in the garlic butter.
