Instructions

  1. Prep Steak: Pat steak cubes dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear Steak: Heat 1 tbsp butter and oil in large cast iron skillet over high heat. Working in batches to avoid crowding, sear steak for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to plate.
  3. Make Sauce: Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Finish: Return steak to skillet. Add Worcestershire and lemon juice. Toss to coat and cook 1 minute more. Garnish with parsley.
  5. Serve: Immediately with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Doneness Guide: 2 mins/side for rare, 3 for medium, 4 for well-done
  • Variations: Add mushrooms with garlic or splash of red wine for depth
  • Meal Prep: Cook steak bites ahead; reheat gently in sauce
