Ingredients 

  • 1 ½ pounds steak sirloin, ribeye, tenderloin, or New York strip, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

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.
