# What You’ll Need:

→ Steak Bites

01 - 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

02 - 1 teaspoon salt

03 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

04 - 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika

05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Lemon Garlic Butter

06 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

07 - 4 cloves garlic, minced

08 - Zest of 1 lemon

→ Roasted Brussels Sprouts

11 - 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

12 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

13 - 0.5 teaspoon salt

14 - 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F.

02 - Toss Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet with cut side down. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy on edges.

03 - While Brussels sprouts roast, season steak cubes with 1 teaspoon salt, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika.

04 - Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add steak cubes in a single layer, working in batches if necessary. Sear 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned and cooked to desired doneness. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.

05 - Reduce heat to medium. In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in lemon zest and 2 tablespoons lemon juice; cook for 1 minute.

06 - Return steak bites to the skillet, tossing to coat thoroughly in lemon garlic butter sauce. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley.

07 - Divide steak bites among plates and serve with roasted Brussels sprouts on the side.

# Expert Tips:

01 -

Steak bites cook faster than a traditional steak, so you're eating in under 40 minutes without sacrificing flavor.
The lemon garlic butter transforms simple pan-seared cubes into something that feels fancy but tastes like home.
Brussels sprouts caramelize while you work the steak, so there's minimal active time once everything is in motion.

02 -

Don't crowd the pan when searing steak. I learned this the hard way when I tried to rush and ended up steaming instead of searing—the meat turned gray and sad. Batch it if you need to.
Flip the Brussels sprouts halfway through roasting. The first time I forgot, one side caramelized beautifully while the other stayed pale and rubbery, teaching me that even roasting deserves attention.
