Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef sirloin (or lean cut)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 whole Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil (for cooking)
Instructions
Trim any excess fat from the beef sirloin and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Ensure all pieces are uniform in size for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining olive oil, sugar-free soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.
Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the beef and marinade to a zip-seal bag. Allow the beef to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add avocado oil. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers.
Remove the beef pieces from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Sear the beef bites in the hot skillet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the exterior is browned and the internal temperature reaches your desired doneness (e.g., 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium).
Remove the beef bites from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve warm as a savory appetizer, snack, or pair with roasted vegetables or a crisp salad for a delicious sugar-free main dish.
