Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef sirloin and cut it into 1-inch cubes.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, coconut aminos, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and sea salt. Whisk thoroughly to make the marinade.
Add the beef cubes to the bowl with the marinade and toss until the meat is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the beef marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for maximum flavor.
Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add a drizzle of olive oil to lightly coat the surface.
Place the marinated beef cubes in a single layer in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until browned.
Flip the beef cubes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness (internal temperature should be at least 145°F for medium rare).
Remove the beef bites from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your Paleo Succulent Beef Bites as a snack, appetizer, or part of a main meal!
