# Instructions:
01 -
Cut 1 1/2 lbs boneless sirloin steak into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the steak with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/2 tsp onion powder.
02 -
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet (cast iron works best) over medium-high heat until it's smoking slightly. This high heat is crucial for a good sear on your Garlic Butter Steak Bites: Quick Low-Carb Dinner.
03 -
Add the seasoned steak cubes to the hot skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms and they reach your desired doneness. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
04 -
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 1/2 cup unsalted butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt completely. Stir in 6 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
05 -
Return all seared steak bites to the skillet. Toss them gently in the melted garlic butter mixture, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Stir in 1 tsp fresh thyme, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully for your Garlic Butter Steak Bites: Quick Low-Carb Dinner.
06 -
Remove the skillet from heat. Squeeze 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice over the steak bites. Garnish generously with 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately to enjoy your delicious Garlic Butter Steak Bites: Quick Low-Carb Dinner.
# Notes:
01 -
Serve these steak bites with a side of roasted asparagus, broccoli, or a fresh green salad for a complete low-carb meal.
02 -
For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F. Adjust searing time for your preferred doneness.
03 -
No sirloin? Ribeye or New York strip also work wonderfully for this recipe. Feel free to adjust the red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
04 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the steak.
