Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb beef sirloin cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet or cast-iron pan
  • Sharp chef’s knife
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Measuring spoons
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Begin by cutting 1 lb of beef sirloin into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes. Trim the ends off 1 lb of Brussels sprouts and slice them in half. Mince 4 cloves of garlic finely and chop fresh parsley for garnish. Having everything ready will make the cooking process smooth and fast.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the halved Brussels sprouts cut-side down. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Let them cook undisturbed for about 5-7 minutes or until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender but still firm. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. When melted, add the bite-sized beef pieces in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Let the steak sear without moving for 2-3 minutes, then stir or flip to brown all sides evenly. The goal is a caramelized crust with a juicy center.
  4. Once the steak is nearly cooked through, add the minced garlic directly to the pan. Stir frequently for about 1-2 minutes to infuse the garlic butter flavor and avoid burning. Return the Brussels sprouts to the skillet and toss everything together so the garlic butter coats all the ingredients evenly.
  5. Turn off the heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh finish. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with dairy-free margarine or coconut oil.
  • To prevent garlic from burning, add it near the end of cooking and stir frequently.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently to avoid overcooking the steak.
