Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb sirloin steak
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos for keto
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 4-6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme optional
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • a pinch red pepper flakes optional
  • to garnish fresh parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Cast iron skillet
  • Bowl or zip-top bag
  • Tongs
  • Paper towels
  • High smoke point oil

Method
 

  1. Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces (1 inch thick).
  2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and optional herbs to create the marinade.
  3. Add the steak pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated, and let them marinate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  4. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels.
  5. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until hot.
  6. Add a tablespoon of oil with a high smoke point to the skillet (avoiding olive oil).
  7. Cook the steak bites in batches, adding them in a single layer and letting them sear for 2 minutes without moving.
  8. Flip the steak bites and cook for an additional 1.5 to 2 minutes for medium-rare.
  9. Reduce heat to medium-low and add cold butter and minced garlic.
  10. Toss the steak bites in the melting butter for about 30 seconds until coated and fragrant.
  11. Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with parsley and lemon juice.

Notes

For a keto-friendly option, substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos. Ensure your meat is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking and tenderness. Don't overcrowd the pan while cooking; do it in batches for better searing. Pair these steak bites with zucchini noodles, roasted potatoes, or a fresh salad dressed with balsamic vinaigrette for a complete meal. Leftover garlic butter can be stored in the fridge and used for other dishes, enhancing flavors in vegetables or on bread. Experiment with herbs and spices in the garlic butter to find your favorite flavor combinations!
