- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (for heat)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (for extra umami)

Instructions
Prepare the Steak
- Pat the steak cubes dry with a paper towel (this ensures a better sear).
- Season generously with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Sear the Steak Bites
- Heat a large skillet (cast iron works best) over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp butter.
- Once hot, add the steak bites in a single layer (avoid overcrowding).
- Sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned (medium-rare to medium doneness).
- Remove steak bites and set aside.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium.
- Add remaining 2 tbsp butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Optional: Add rosemary, thyme, or red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
Combine & Serve
- Return the steak bites to the skillet and toss in the garlic butter sauce.
- Cook for 1 more minute to coat evenly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon (optional).
