Heat the olive oil in a large pan over high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper to taste.

Add the butter and garlic to the pan; cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring to coat the meat in the sauce.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

If you don’t have sirloin, you can also use tenderloin, rib eye, or strip steak.
Deep-fried chicken wings have long been a staple of Southern cooking. But the concept of cooking wings in peppery hot sauce was born in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, when co-owner Teressa Bellissimo cooked leftover wings in hot sauce as a late-night snack for her son and his friends.
In a small bowl, mix together flour, salt, garlic powder, chili powder and black pepper.
Wash, dry, and dip the wings into the flour mixture until coated.
Cover a cookie sheet with foil and spray with a generous spray of cooking spray.
Place the wings in a single layer on the cookie sheet, and place in the oven.
Cook for 35-40 minutes, depending on the size of the wings, turning once.
While they are baking, make the sauce by slowly simmering the sauce ingredients over the lowest heat.
When the wings are done baking, carefully dip them in the sauce, and place them back in the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until hot and cheese is melted.
Notes
Depending on the brand of chili you may want to heat it slightly to make it easier to pour over the hot dog.
