Ingredients
1 pound (500 g) sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Optional Add-Ins
1 tablespoon lemon juice for extra freshness
½ cup mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Steamed asparagus or green beans
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Steak
Pat the steak dry with paper towels and cut it into evenly sized cubes. Season generously with salt, black pepper, paprika, and thyme. Let the meat rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
Step 2: Sear the Steak
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the steak cubes in a single layer. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 3: Add the Garlic Butter
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Toss the steak bites in the garlic butter sauce until evenly coated.
Step 4: Finish and Serve
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the steak bites and add a squeeze of lemon juice if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
