Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by slicing the sirloin steak into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1-inch each.
In a medium bowl, combine the steak cubes with black pepper and onion powder. Toss to coat evenly.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the steak cubes in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the steaks develop a nice brown crust, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until desired doneness. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F.
While the steak bites are cooking, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.
Remove the steak bites from the skillet and transfer them to a clean plate, leaving any drippings in the skillet.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and become bubbly, then add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the cooked steak bites back into the skillet, tossing them with the garlic butter to coat evenly.
Finish by adding lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of freshness. Toss everything together to combine well.
Serve immediately, allowing the flavors to shine without the need for extra salt.
