1. Prep the steak

Pat the sirloin cubes dry with paper towels (this helps create a nice sear).

Season lightly with salt and black pepper.

2. Sear the steak bites

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat until hot.

Add a splash of oil (optional, but helpful).

Add steak cubes in a single layer — do not overcrowd the pan.

Sear 2 minutes per side, flipping only once, until browned and caramelized.

Tip: Leave the steak undisturbed while searing so it develops a crust.

3. Add the garlic butter

Reduce heat to medium.

Add 2 Tbsp butter to the pan.

Once melted, add the minced garlic and stir for 20–30 seconds until fragrant (do not burn).

4. Finish with lime

Turn off heat.

Squeeze ½ lime over the steak bites and toss to coat in the buttery sauce.

Taste and adjust salt if needed.

5. Serve

Transfer to a plate or bowl, spooning the extra garlic lime butter over the top.

Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
