Ingredients
Scale
Don’t worry about hunting down exotic ingredients—this recipe keeps it simple but flavorful, just like my mom’s magical kitchen creations.
- 1 pound of beef sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika (optional for a bit of heat)
Feel free to substitute the sirloin with any tender cut of beef you have on hand. If you’re out of fresh parsley, dried herbs can work in a pinch!
Instructions
With just a few simple steps, you’ll have a dish that’s ready to impress. Let’s dive into the process and get cooking!
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the beef pieces to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side until a deep brown crust forms.
- Flip the beef pieces and add the butter and minced garlic to the pan. Stir gently to coat the beef in the melting butter and garlic.
- Season with salt, pepper, and paprika if using. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the beef is cooked through and the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
- Toss in the chopped parsley and stir to combine. Remove from heat and let the flavors meld for a minute before serving.
Pro tip: Keep a close eye on the garlic to prevent it from burning. It’s the subtle art of home cooking—just like my mom’s instinctive magic with spices.
