Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
3 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Cook the bacon: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
Sear the steak: Increase heat to medium-high. Season steak cubes with salt and pepper, then sear in the bacon fat for about 2–3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove and set aside.
Make garlic butter: Lower heat to medium and add butter and garlic to the same pan. Stir for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Combine: Return steak and bacon to the pan. Toss everything in the garlic butter for 1–2 minutes.
Serve: Garnish with parsley if using, and serve immediately while hot and sizzling.
