Steps
Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat it over high heat. Make sure the olive oil is hot, then add the steak pieces to it. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
Cook for at least 2 minutes before stirring the steak pieces. You want to make sure you get a good sear on them. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until they're golden brown. If your skillet isn't big enough, you may need to do this batches.
Transfer the steak bites to a plate and in the same skillet add the butter. Turn the heat down to a medium and after the butter has melted, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 30 seconds while stirring, just until the garlic becomes aromatic and starts to brown.
Pour the garlic butter over the steak bites and toss well. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Dorothy on 2025-06-07 (5 stars): I made this for dinner, easy peasy meal. Because I used beef tenderloin tips, a minute each side was more than enough. Next time I'll use a tad more garlic though. Thanks.

Dory on 2025-03-29 (5 stars): Had 2 thin sliced Delmonico steaks in the freezer. They were delicious in this recipe. My husband said it was restaurant quality. I'll be making this again.
