While the rice is cooking, prepare the steak bites: In a medium bowl, combine the cubed sirloin steak with olive oil, low-sodium soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Toss to ensure the steak is evenly coated.

Heat a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the seasoned steak bites in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the meat.
