Spicy Buttery Striploin Steak Bites

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, paprika, salt, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, and ground black pepper.
2. Cut the striploin steaks into cubes and add to a large Ziploc bag. Pour in all of the spice mixture and massage through the steak thoroughly. Seal the bag and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour. (No longer than 3 hours.)
3. Add the olive oil to a large skillet and over medium heat, sear the steak cubes on all sides for 2-3 minutes. (Do this in batches so that you don't over crowd the skillet. Adding too much of the steak at one time will result in more steam and you won't get a good sear on the steak without cooking it for too long.)
4. Once the steak has all been seared, place it on a plate and set aside. Add the butter and the finely chopped garlic to the skillet. Cook for roughly 3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and lightly browned.
5. Add the steak back to the skillet and stir into the butter and garlic mixture. Turn off the heat and continue to toss the beef in the butter for 2-3 minutes.
6. Serve immediately. Delicious served with rice and mixed vegetables.
