One-Pan Garlic Herb Steak (Print Version)

Juicy steak cubes seared with garlic and herbs in one pan. Fast, flavorful, and perfect for a summer dinner.

# What You'll Need:

→ Steak & Marinade

01 - 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
04 - 1 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Aromatics & Herbs

06 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
08 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
09 - 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

→ Optional Garnish

10 - Lemon wedges, for serving

# How to Make:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine steak cubes with olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Toss to ensure the steak is thoroughly coated and marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.
02 - Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high heat until hot.
03 - Add steak cubes in a single layer, cooking in batches if necessary to prevent crowding. Sear undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes, then turn and cook for an additional 2 minutes until browned and just cooked through.
04 - Reduce heat to medium. Push steak to one side of the pan. Add unsalted butter and minced garlic, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
05 - Toss the steak bites with the melted garlic butter, then sprinkle with chopped parsley and thyme. Serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
