Instructions

Remove steak from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to reach room temperature.

Cut sirloin into uniform 1-inch cubes for even cooking throughout.

Season steak cubes generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Toss seasoned steak cubes and let sit for 10 minutes to absorb flavors.

Heat avocado oil in large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

When oil is shimmering hot, add steak cubes in single layer without crowding.

Sear steak cubes for 2-3 minutes on first side without moving them.

Using tongs, turn each cube and sear remaining sides until golden brown.

Cook steak to medium-rare doneness, about 6-8 minutes total cooking time.

Remove steak bites from skillet and set aside on warm plate.

Reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons butter to same skillet.

Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant but not burnt.

Pour in white wine and scrape up any browned bits from bottom.

Add Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and beef bouillon paste to pan.

Whisk in remaining butter one tablespoon at a time until melted and smooth.

Stir in heavy cream and Dijon mustard until sauce is glossy and combined.

Return steak bites to skillet and toss gently to coat with sauce.

Remove from heat and immediately stir in fresh herbs and red pepper flakes.

Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and lemon juice as needed.

Serve immediately while hot, garnished with flaky salt and fresh herbs.
