Ingredients
  

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized cubes

3 tablespoons Cajun seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Steak: In a bowl, season the steak cubes with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly and let sit for about 15 minutes to marinate.

    Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

      Sear the Steak: Add the marinated steak bites to the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary. Sear for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended).

        Add Garlic Butter: Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.

          Toss & Finish: Remove the skillet from the heat and toss the steak bites in the garlic butter until well-coated.

            Garnish and Serve: Transfer the steak bites to a serving plate, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty kick.
