Ingredients
500g beef cubes (preferably chuck or sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces)
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
Optional: chili flakes for heat
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking
Add the beef cubes in a single layer without overcrowding the pan
Sear each side for 2–3 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms
Reduce heat slightly and add minced garlic, stirring quickly to avoid burning
Add soy sauce, paprika, salt, pepper, and honey, tossing the beef to coat evenly
Stir in butter and let it melt, creating a glossy, flavorful coating
Cook for another 2–3 minutes until the beef is fully cooked and caramelized
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley
How to Make
Start by choosing a well-marbled cut of beef for maximum tenderness and flavor
Pat the beef dry before cooking to achieve a crispy sear
Cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the meat
Control heat carefully—high heat for searing, medium for finishing
Allow the beef to rest briefly before serving to retain juices
Serve hot with rice, potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal
Variations
Garlic butter steak bites: increase butter and add herbs like thyme or rosemary
Spicy beef bites: add chili flakes or hot sauce for extra heat
Asian-style beef: include ginger, sesame oil, and a splash of rice vinegar
