Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Lean beef (sirloin or tenderloin)
- 3 tbsp Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tsp Olive oil (optional, for searing)
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Trim any visible fat from the beef and cut it into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1 inch in size.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, minced garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for extra flavor.
Remove the marinated beef from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes before cooking.
Heat a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium-high heat. If desired, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan to prevent sticking, though the recipe is designed to be low fat and this step is optional.
Add the beef cubes to the hot pan in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, turning occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked to your desired doneness (internal temperature should reach 63°C or 145°F for medium rare).
Transfer the cooked beef bites to a plate and let them rest for 3-5 minutes to retain their juices.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy these low-fat succulent beef bites as they are, or pair with a light dipping sauce or side salad.
