Ingredients

6 servings
  • Beef Sirloin, Top(907g)
  • Olive oil(30g)

    Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • Unsalted Butter(60g)
  • Garlic(300g)
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • Aioli, Garlic

Instructions

  1. 1Pat the steak dry with paper towels and season all over with salt.
  2. 2Heat olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the steak in a single layer, making sure they aren’t touching, and cook undisturbed until browned, 1-2 minutes. Flip and repeat on the other side, about another 6 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate.
  3. 3Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the pan. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. 4Pour the garlic butter over the steak bites and sprinkle with pepper. Serve alongside garlic aioli for dipping.
