Ingredients
1
lb
sirloin steak
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2
tbsp
butter
Instructions
Trim off the large obvious pieces of fat that run along the side of the meat
Cut strips less than 1 inch wide
Rotate the meat and cut into small bite-sized pieces
If you see anymore large chunks of fat, gristle or long silvery membranes cut them off
Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Toss the meat around a bit to thoroughly coat with the seasonings
Turn on your ventilation fan overhead
Heat the skillet over medium high to high heat
As the pan heats, add about 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet
The point here is to allow the butter to melt, then brown, before you add the meat
Place some of the meat in the pan in a single layer
It should sizzle loudly when it hits the pan - if it doesn't, the pan isn't hot enough
Don't stir or disrupt the meat for 30 to 45 seconds
You want it to sizzle and brown on one side
Now scoop as many steak bites as you can with your spatula and flip them over
Repeat until all the meat is turned
Cook for an additional 30 seconds or so - just long enough to sear the outside of the meat but NOT cook the inside
(LA Note: I like my meat medium to medium-well so I cooked mine longer.)
Remove the meat to a clean plate
Add a little more butter to the pan and repeat the cooking process with the next batch just as before
Lastly when all the meat is nicely browned and removed to the plate pour all that browned/blackened butter all over the meat
