👨‍🍳 How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Bites

Step 1: Prep the Steak

Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 2: Sear the Steak

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add steak bites in a single layer. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until nicely browned. Work in batches if needed. Remove steak and set aside.

Step 3: Make Garlic Butter

Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic to the same skillet. Cook for 30–45 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn the garlic).

Step 4: Combine

Return steak bites to the skillet. Toss to coat in the garlic butter. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and parsley.

Step 5: Serve

Serve hot straight from the pan!
