Ingredients:
1 lb ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for some heat
Instructions:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the ribeye steak cubes with salt, pepper, and thyme.
Once the oil is hot, add the steak cubes in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan—cook in batches if needed.
Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes on each side or until desired doneness is reached (medium-rare to medium is recommended for steak bites).
Remove the steak from the pan and set it aside. In the same skillet, melt butter, then add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the steak bites to the pan and toss them in the garlic butter for 1-2 minutes.
Optional: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for extra flavor and heat.
