Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil, or more as needed for frying
Cut the sirloin steak into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Allow to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
Carefully add the seasoned steak cubes to the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side without moving to achieve a good sear, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until desired doneness.
While the steak is cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden.
Once the steak bites are cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour the garlic butter sauce over the steak. Gently toss until well coated.
Remove from heat and transfer the steak bites to a serving platter. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
