Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the steak cubes, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix gently until evenly coated. Let sit for at least 15 minutes to marinate.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the marinated steak cubes in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, mix together barbecue sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar. Pour this mixture over the seared steak bites in the skillet.
- Reduce heat to low and stir gently to coat the steak evenly with the sauce. Allow to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
