Ingredients
- Steak sirloin, ribeye, or strip – 900 g / 2 lb
- Cajun seasoning – about 2½ teaspoons total
- Smoked paprika optional
- Salt & black pepper
- Avocado or olive oil – 1 tbsp
- Butter – 4 tbsp
- Garlic – 3 cloves
- Lemon juice – 1 tbsp
- Fresh parsley – 2 tbsp
Instructions
- Pat steak dry with paper towels. Cut into 2–3 cm (1-inch) cubes, trimming any large pieces of fat or silverskin.
- Add steak cubes to a bowl. Toss with oil, 1½ tablespoons Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add half of the steak bites in a single layer. Sear 1–2 minutes without moving, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes, until browned but still juicy inside. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining steak.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter to the same skillet. When melted, stir in garlic and the remaining 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning. Cook 30–60 seconds, stirring, until fragrant but not browned.
- Add lemon juice and stir. Return steak bites (and any juices) to the pan and toss in the Cajun garlic butter for 30–60 seconds to coat and warm through.
- Turn off heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley, toss once more, and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt or lemon juice if needed.
- Serve immediately over cauliflower rice, mash, or your favorite keto veggies, spooning extra Cajun butter sauce over the top.
