Ingredients

  • 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

  • ½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

  • Sliced red onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Steak
    In a bowl, toss the steak pieces with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).

  2. Grill or Sear the Steak Bites
    Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the seasoned steak bites and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until charred and cooked to your preferred doneness.

  3. Melt the Cheese
    While the steak bites are still hot, sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Cover briefly (or close the grill lid) to allow the cheese to melt beautifully.

  4. Garnish & Serve
    Top with freshly chopped parsley and sliced red onions. Serve warm with garlic butter, chimichurri, or spicy aioli for dipping.

Tips & Variations

  • Meat Options: Try flank steak or strip steak if sirloin/ribeye isn’t available.

  • Cheese Choices: Use mozzarella for a gooey stretch, or pepper jack for a spicy kick.

  • Oven Method: Broil the seasoned steak bites for 5–6 minutes, then top with cheese before serving.

  • Low-Carb/Keto Friendly: Skip sides like bread and pair with roasted veggies or a salad.

Serving Suggestions

  • Crispy fries or potato wedges

  • Garlic bread or flatbread
