Ingredients
  • 2cups fresh parsley
  • 1/4cup olive oilfor sauce
  • 1/4cup water
  • 1tsp dried oregano
  • 3tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2tsp saltdivided
  • 1/2tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2lb sirloin steakcut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2tbsp olive oilfor cooking steak
Instructions
  1. Place the parsley, 1/4 cup olive oil, water, oregano, lemon juice, garlic and 1 tsp of salt in a food processor (or blender). Blend until you have a smooth sauce.
  2. Set aside 1/2-1 cup of the mixture to use for dipping. Place remaining sauce in a gallon sized zip-top bag.
  3. Season steak with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and the pepper. Place steak pieces in the bag with the sauce. Seal the bag, making sure to get as much air out of the bag as you can. Turn the mixture around to thoroughly coat all the pieces of meat with the sauce.
  4. Place bag in the refrigerator and marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
  5. After the meat has marinated, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Working in several batches (to avoid over crowding the pan), place the steak bites in the pan and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes. Turn the pieces with a spatula or tongs as the cook to ensure even browning on all sides.
  7. Remove steak as they finish cooking, and continue until all pieces are cooked (I made mine in two batches).
  8. Serve steak with the reserved sauce.
Recipe Notes

**Cardinal Rule** This recipe works with tougher cuts of meat (like chuck) because the lemon tenderizes the steak as it marinades.  You can let it marinade longer to get more tender, flavorful steak bites.
