Ingredients
- 500 grams lean beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cubed beef, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, reduced-sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, ground black pepper, and half of the minced garlic. Mix well to coat the beef evenly, then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2
Heat the remaining olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and the mixture is hot, add the remaining minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and slightly golden.
Step 3
Increase the heat to high and add the marinated beef cubes to the skillet. Discard any remaining marinade. Cook the beef, stirring frequently, for about 5-6 minutes or until browned and cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Step 4
Add the red chili flakes to the skillet and toss everything together. Cook for an additional minute to combine the flavors.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the beef salpicao to a serving platter.
Step 6
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Step 7
Serve hot with a side of steamed vegetables or a whole grain side dish like brown rice or quinoa to complete this heart-healthy meal.
