Ingredients
  

For the Beef:

  • 1.25 lbs Sirloin or Ribeye cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 Tbsp Grapeseed Oil higher smoke point than olive oil
  • 3 Tbsp Salted European-style Butter
  • 4 Garlic Cloves smashed and minced
  • 1 tsp Coarsely Cracked Black Pepper for a textured crust
  • Fresh Chives snipped

For the Tangy Dipping Sauce:

  • ½ cup Plain Greek Yogurt replaces sour cream
  • ¼ cup Whole Grain Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tsp Smoked Hot Sauce like chipotle
  • 1 clove Garlic grated finely
  • A pinch of Sea Salt

Instructions
 

  • Start by combining the Greek yogurt, whole grain mustard, grated garlic, and hot sauce in a small ramekin. Season with a pinch of sea salt, cover, and let it chill in the fridge. This allows the garlic to mellow and the flavors to fuse.
  • Dry your beef cubes thoroughly with paper towels. In a cast-iron skillet, heat the grapeseed oil until it begins to shimmer. Add the beef in a single layer—don’t crowd the pan! Season generously with the cracked pepper and salt as they sizzle.
  • Let the meat sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to develop a dark, caramelized exterior. Give the pan a shake or use tongs to flip the pieces, cooking for another 2 minutes until browned on all sides.
  • Reduce your burner to medium. Toss in the butter and minced garlic. As the butter foams, use a large spoon to continuously pour the hot garlic-butter over the steak bites for about 60 seconds. This "basting" technique ensures the garlic flavors penetrate the meat without burning the cloves.
  • Transfer the beef tips to a platter and pour the remaining pan butter over the top. Scatter fresh chives over the dish and serve immediately with the chilled mustard cream.
