Instructions

Pat the steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
1 1/2 pounds steak, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Let it get hot.
2 tablespoons olive oil
Add the steak cubes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 1-3 minutes on each side until a nice sear forms. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan. Remove the steak and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic as it will become bitter.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, 5 cloves garlic
Return the steak cubes to the skillet along with any juices and toss them in the garlic butter. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, to heat through.
Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
