Ingredients
  

1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional: 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions
 

Prep the Steak: Season the cubed steak with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Make sure the seasoning is evenly distributed.

    Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

      Sear the Steak: Add the steak cubes to the skillet in a single layer, without overcrowding, and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they have a nice brown crust. Adjust the cooking time for your preferred doneness.

        Add Garlic and Butter: Once the steak is cooked to your liking, push the steak bites to one side of the skillet. Add the butter and minced garlic to the empty side of the skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring the garlic until fragrant but not burnt.

          Combine and Toss: Stir the steak bites into the melted garlic butter, ensuring they are well-coated. Cook for an additional minute to let the flavors meld together.

            Finish and Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley and optional red pepper flakes if using. Toss to combine.

              Serve: Transfer the garlic butter steak bites to a serving platter. Serve warm.
