Ingredients:

1 pound of steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon light olive oil
3 tablespoons of butter
3 cloves of garlic, minced

½ teaspoon of black pepper
½ teaspoon of paprika
¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional for a little spice)
2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

Season the steak pieces with salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes, if using. Make sure each piece is well coated well.
In a large skillet, add the olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned steak bites to the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they reach your desired temperature. For medium-rare steak bites, cook for about 2 minutes per side. Adjust the cooking time based on your preference.
Once the steak bites are cooked to your preference, remove them from the skillet and set them aside on a plate. Tent the plate with foil to keep the steak warm.
Using the same skillet, add the butter and melt. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute. Stir well to combine.
Pour the garlic butter sauce over the steak bites. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve as an appetizer with toothpicks or as a main dish with a side of your choice.
