Notes
For perfectly tender beef bites, pat the beef dry before searing, don't overcrowd the pan, and don't overcook. Aim for medium-rare to medium. Use a good quality sirloin steak for the best flavor and texture. Spice it up with cayenne pepper or hot sauce. Add sautéed mushrooms, onions, or bell peppers. Experiment with different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or oregano. Make it creamy by stirring in a tablespoon or two of heavy cream or sour cream. Serve as an appetizer, main course, over pasta, or in a wrap.
