  • Total Time: 18 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Beef

  • 1 lb beef sirloin or steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

Seasonings and Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Season the Beef: In a bowl, evenly coat the beef cubes with paprika, salt, and black pepper to infuse flavor into the meat.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for searing the beef.
  3. Sear the Beef Cubes: Place the beef cubes in a single layer in the hot skillet. Sear each side for about 2 to 3 minutes until they develop a rich brown crust.
  4. Add Garlic Butter: Lower the heat to medium, then add butter and the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir the beef continuously in the garlic butter for about 1 minute to coat and infuse it with savory flavors.
  5. Finish and Garnish: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the beef bites for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure the beef sears properly and develops a good crust.
  • These bites pair wonderfully with rice, potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
