Equipment

  • A large cast iron skillet, for searing the steak bites
  • A sheet pan lined with parchment, for roasting the brussels sprouts
  • Tongs, for turning the steak bites
  • Paper towels, for patting the steak dry before searing

Ingredients
  

  • 600 g sirloin steak about 1.3 lb, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
  • 450 g brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp coarse sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Fresh parsley chopped, to serve

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Toss the halved brussels sprouts with 1 tbsp olive oil, half the salt and half the pepper, spread cut-side down on a lined sheet pan, and roast for 18–20 minutes until crisp and golden at the edges.
  • Pat the steak cubes very dry with paper towels and season with the remaining salt and pepper.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over high heat until it shimmers. Add the steak bites in a single layer — work in two batches if needed — and sear for 1–2 minutes per side until browned and pink inside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, add the butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme and red pepper flakes, and toss the steak bites in the foaming herb butter for 1 minute.
  • Drizzle with balsamic vinegar, toss once more, and serve the steak bites over the roasted brussels sprouts with fresh parsley scattered on top.

Notes

Pat the steak cubes very dry before searing. Cook in batches so the pan stays hot. Add garlic with the butter, not before, so it doesn't burn.
