Servings: 4
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound top sirloin steak cubed
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chili paste add more if you like it spicier
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 limes zested and juiced
Instructions
- Cut and season the steak. Cut the steak into 1/2-inch cubes. Then, place the steak cubes in a mixing bowl; season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder and stir to coat the steak bites. Add chili paste and honey to the steak bites; stir until well coated.
- Heat the skillet. Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Hold your hand 6 inches above the skillet, and when you can feel the heat, add the olive oil and swirl it around.
- Sear. Add the steak bites to the hot skillet in a single layer. If it doesn't sizzle, the skillet is not hot enough. Sear the steak bites for 1 minute - do not move them around. Using tongs, flip the steak bites over. Continue to sear for a minute longer, or until done. Transfer the steak bites to a plate; set aside.
- Warm the zest and juice. Add the lime zest and lime juice to the hot skillet and stir to combine; pour the lime sauce over the steak bites.
- Finish and serve. Top with freshly chopped cilantro or parsley, and serve.
