Bella’s Stir Fry Butter Sirloin
This butter-basted sirloin stir fry is the ultimate quick-fix meal for anyone craving a high-fat, high-protein dish that doesn't skimp on flavor. By cubing the sirloin, you increase the surface area for the butter to coat, creating a rich and savory glaze that develops almost instantly over high heat. The secret to this dish is the lightning-fast sear, which ensures the meat stays incredibly tender and juicy on the inside while picking up a decadent, buttery crust on the outside.
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak
- 1 to 3 tablespoons butter
- Salt and seasonings to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the steak by cutting the sirloin into uniform cubes, thin strips, or large chunks, depending on your texture preference. Pat the meat dry with paper towels and season with salt or spices if desired.
- Place a large skillet or deep pan over medium-high heat and allow it to preheat. Add the butter to the pan.
- Once the butter begins to bubble and foam, carefully add the meat to the pan in a single layer. Do not crowd the pan; work in batches if necessary to ensure a proper sear.
- Sear the meat quickly for only 20 to 30 seconds on each side for a rare finish. If you prefer your stir fry more well-done, increase the cooking time by an additional 30 to 60 seconds per side.
- Remove the meat from the pan immediately once the desired char is achieved. Transfer the sirloin to a warm plate and allow it to rest for 2 to 3 minutes to let the juices settle.
- Serve warm, drizzled with any remaining melted butter from the pan. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and are excellent when gently reheated in a pan over low heat.
