Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to bring this dish to life:
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Feel free to substitute the sirloin with ribeye or strip steak if you prefer a different cut. For a dairy-free version, you can swap the butter with a plant-based alternative.
Instructions
- Start by patting the steak cubes dry with paper towels and season them generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steak cubes in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice crust and are cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Allow it to melt and become slightly browned, which adds a nutty flavor to the sauce.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, and red pepper flakes if using. Let the sauce simmer for about 2 minutes to meld the flavors together.
- Return the steak bites to the skillet, tossing them in the buttery sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Finish by sprinkling the chopped parsley and chives over the steak bites. Serve immediately while they’re hot and flavorful.
