One-Pan Garlic Herb Steak (Printable)

Tender steak bites sautéed with garlic, parsley, and thyme—all in a single skillet for quick dinners.

# 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 It:

01 - Combine steak cubes, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly and allow to marinate for a minimum of 10 minutes at room temperature.
02 - Preheat a large skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat until hot.
03 - Add steak cubes in a single layer. Sear for 2–3 minutes without stirring, then turn and cook for an additional 2 minutes until evenly browned and cooked through. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
04 - Reduce heat to medium. Push steak bites aside. Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant for approximately 30 seconds.
05 - Mix steak bites with melted garlic butter. Sprinkle chopped parsley and thyme evenly over the steak and toss well to coat.
06 - Transfer steak bites to serving plates. Garnish with fresh lemon wedges if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Steak bites are ready in twenty minutes and every surface gets that garlicky, herby crust.
  • No need for multiple pans, which means less time scrubbing and more time enjoying.
02 -
  • Overcrowding the skillet means steaming instead of searing; always cook in batches if necessary.
  • Adding garlic before butter will make it burn—always add garlic after searing and right as the butter melts.
03 -
  • Dry the steak cubes thoroughly with paper towels before marinating for flawless searing.
  • Let the cooked steak rest for two minutes before tossing with butter and herbs—juices redistribute and each bite stays tender.
