# Ingredients Required:

→ Steak and Seasonings

01 - 907 grams top sirloin steak
02 - Salt to taste (up to 1.5 teaspoons recommended)
03 - 0.75 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 0.75 teaspoon onion powder
05 - 0.75 teaspoon paprika
06 - 0.75 teaspoon brown sugar
07 - 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
08 - 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
09 - 0.5 teaspoon mustard powder

→ Cooking Liquids and Fats

10 - 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
11 - 180 milliliters dry white wine
12 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

→ Aromatics and Herbs

13 - 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
14 - 4 sprigs fresh thyme
15 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

# Detailed Directions:

01 - Combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, brown sugar, black pepper, chili powder, and mustard powder in a bowl and set aside. Measure all remaining ingredients before beginning. For enhanced tenderness, cover steak with plastic wrap and lightly tenderize both sides using a meat mallet.
02 - Cut the steak into 2.5 cm cubes and pat dry with paper towels. Season cubes with salt to taste, then evenly coat all sides with the prepared seasoning mixture, pressing to adhere thoroughly.
03 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In batches, sear steak cubes for approximately 1 minute per side until medium-rare, about 4 minutes per batch. Transfer seared meat to a plate and repeat until all pieces are browned.
04 - Remove skillet from heat and pour in the white wine. Return heat to medium and use a silicone spatula to scrape browned bits from the bottom and sides of the pan. Bring to a gentle boil and reduce liquid by half, approximately 6 minutes.
05 - Add butter, sliced garlic, and thyme sprigs to the reduced wine. Simmer gently over medium heat for 3 minutes to infuse flavors.
06 - Reduce heat to medium-low and return steak cubes along with any accumulated juices to the skillet. Spoon sauce over the meat and heat through for 2 to 3 minutes or until desired doneness is achieved. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
07 - Serve as an appetizer with toothpicks or as a main course accompanied by mashed potatoes and roasted green beans.

# Helpful Advice:

01 - Tenderizing the steak before cutting enhances texture. Use any dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for best results. Season according to preference. Optimal doneness is medium-rare to medium; adjust cooking time to preference.
