Ingredients

🥩 Steak Bites

• 1 lb sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt & pepper
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder

🧄 Garlic Butter Sauce

• 3 tbsp butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
• Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

🍚 Serve With

• Steamed rice, mashed potatoes, noodles, or sautéed veggies
• Extra parsley or green onions for garnish

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Prepare the steak
   Pat steak cubes dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. A dry surface ensures the perfect golden sear.
2. Sear the steak bites
   Heat olive oil in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak in a single layer and sear 1–2 minutes per side without overcrowding the pan. Remove when browned and cooked to your liking.
3. Make the garlic butter sauce
   In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and let it melt and foam slightly. Add garlic and sauté 20–30 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn!). Stir in parsley, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and lemon juice if using.
4. Coat the steak
   Return steak bites to the skillet and toss in the garlic butter until fully coated and glossy.
5. Assemble the bowl
   Spoon steak bites over rice or your chosen base. Drizzle extra garlic butter on top—don’t hold back. 😋
6. Serve immediately
   Garnish with parsley or green onions and enjoy warm!
