Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2–2 1/2 lb lean sirloin steak, cubed
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or gluten-free substitute)
- Olive oil spray
- 4 small shallots, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 cup sherry cooking wine
- 1 1/4 cup beef broth
- 1/2 tbsp butter
- Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the steak: Cube the sirloin steak into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and kosher salt. Toss to combine. Add flour and toss to coat evenly.
- Sear the steak: Preheat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and spray with olive oil. Add half the steak pieces, ensuring they don’t touch. Sear for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown but still pink inside. Remove and repeat with the remaining steak. Set aside.
- Sauté aromatics: Mince the shallots and garlic. In the same pan, spray more olive oil and add the shallots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until tender and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Make the sauce: Pour in the sherry wine and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in the butter and simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce begins to reduce.
- Combine: Return the steak to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes on medium-low heat. The flour coating on the steak will help thicken the sauce. Be careful not to overcook the meat, or it may become tough.
- Serve: Once the sauce reaches the desired consistency, turn off the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and serve warm.
Notes
- For extra richness, add an additional tablespoon of butter at the end.
- Substitute dry white wine for sherry if needed.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
