  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Steak: Pat the steak cubes dry with a paper towel and season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
  • Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.

  • Serve: Transfer to a plate and enjoy immediately. Pair with your favorite side dishes!
