Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or more for garnish)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional: lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Steak: Pat the steak pieces dry with paper towels. This helps them achieve a nice sear. Season the cubes generously with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.

    Heat the Skillet: In a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottom pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

      Sear the Steak: Add the steak bites in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Sear the steak for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a rich brown crust. You may need to do this in batches.

        Add Garlic and Butter: Once the steak bites are browned and cooked to your desired doneness (medium rare is about 130°F), reduce the heat to medium. Push the steak bites to one side of the skillet, then add the butter and minced garlic to the empty side.

          Infuse the Butter: Allow the butter to melt and the garlic to become fragrant (about 30 seconds), making sure it doesn't burn. Spoon the melted garlic butter over the steak bites, allowing them to soak up the flavor.

            Finish and Garnish: Remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the steak bites for freshness. Toss gently to coat them in the garlic butter.

              Serve: Serve the garlic butter steak bites immediately, with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty touch if desired.
