Ingredients

  • 1 lb top sirloin steak
  • 1/2 t kosher salt
  • 1/2 t black pepper
  • 1/2 t garlic powder
  • 2 T chili paste
  • 1 T honey
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 2 limes, zested and juiced

Preparation

Step 1

Cut steak into 1-inch strips, then cut strips into 1/2-inch pieces.
Place the steak in a small bowl and sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir to coat the steak in the spices.
Add the chili paste and the honey and stir again to coat the steak completely.
Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Hold your hand about 6 inches above the pan, and when you can feel the heat, add the olive oil and swirl around the pan. Add the steak to the pan in a single layer. If it doesn't sizzle and hiss, the pan is not hot enough.
Sear the steak for 1 minute before touching it, then flip the steak bites with tongs or a spatula. Sear the steak on the second side for an additional 1 minute, then remove the steak from the pan to a plate.
Add the lime zest and lime juice to the hot pan, stir to combine, and pour the chili lime sauce over the steak bites.
