🍽️ Ingredients

  • 1 ½ lbs sirloin steak (or ribeye), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prep the steak:
    Pat cubes dry with a paper towel (this helps create a good sear).
  2. Season:
    Toss steak bites with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Sear:
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
    Add steak bites in a single layer — DO NOT overcrowd.
    Cook 1–2 minutes per side until browned.
  4. Make the garlic butter:
    Reduce heat to medium.
    Add butter and minced garlic.
    Stir until butter melts and coats the steak.
  5. Serve:
    Sprinkle with parsley and spoon the garlic butter over the top.
