Method

0
Pat the sirloin steak dry and cut into bite‑size cubes. Season the cubes with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, and smoked paprika, tossing to coat evenly.
1
Finely chop the garlic and fresh parsley. Thinly slice the red onion. Cut the broccoli into small florets if not already prepared.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. When hot, add the broccoli florets and sliced red onion. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is bright green and just tender with some browned spots. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and keep warm.
3
In the same skillet, reduce the heat slightly if needed and add the butter. Once melted and foaming, add the steak bites in a single layer without crowding. Sear for about 2 minutes per side, turning once, until browned on the outside and cooked to your preferred doneness.
4
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet during the last 1 minute of cooking the steak, stirring so it softens and becomes fragrant without burning.
5
Return the sautéed broccoli and onions to the skillet with the steak. Toss everything together for 1 to 2 minutes so the vegetables are coated in the garlic butter and warmed through.
6
Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, and serve hot, dividing the steak and vegetables evenly between two plates.
