Garlic butter & herb sirloin tips are seared on the stove top and ready in only ten minutes! Coated in rich garlic butter, these tender steak bites are best served over mashed potatoes.
Warm a large cast iron pan over medium to medium-high heat on the stove top. Meanwhile, pat sirloin tips dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat.
Once pan is hot, add canola oil. When hot and rippling, add sirloin tips to pan, spreading into an even layer with no meat touching, if possible (you may need to cook in two batches using a small pan).
Sear your steak on the first side for 2 minutes, then flip. Cook for 1 minute, then add your butter, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Toss to evenly coat and cook for 1 additional minute.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Notes
Look over your sirloin tips before beginning. Any larger chunks should be cut into smaller, 1 inch cubes so that your bites cook evenly.
Use an oil with a high smoke point for pan-searing steaks. I recommend canola oil, peanut oil, or vegetable oil. I do not recommend butter or olive oil.
A cast iron pan or stainless steel skillet is best for searing meat at a high heat. I do not recommend using a nonstick skillet.
Sirloin tips can be substituted with any cubed tender steak - cube your own sirloin, flank steak, or tenderloin. I do not recommend using cubed stew meat - this cut of meat tends to be tough and is better cooked low and slow in a stew.
