Instructions
Prep + Season: Cut 1 pound beef tenderloin steak tips into 1 inch sized pieces. Pat dry with clean paper towel and season with kosher salt and ground black pepper.
Sear Steak: Bring a large cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil and swirl to coat the pan. When oil is nice and hot (pan should sizzle if you flick it with water) sear steak on both sides (approximately 30-60 seconds, depending on how thick the pieces are). Your goal is not to fully cook them, but just sear each side. Remove from pan and place on a nearby plate. Cook steak tips in batches so you do not crowd the pan.
Butter + Garlic: Once steak pieces are seared add 2-3 tablespoons butter and 2-3 teaspoons garlic to the pan and let melt. Add steak pieces back in (along with any juices that have settled on the plate) and toss in the the butter. Continue tossing the steak pieces until they have reached your desired doneness (use an instant-read thermometer to track). For a medium-rare finish you will want an internal temperature of 130-135℉.
