Creating Steak Bites with Garlic Butter can be an enjoyable process when you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Steak: Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if desired.
2. Heat Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3. Sear Steak: Add the steak pieces in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until browned.
4. Flip Steak: Turn the steak bites over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes for desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended).
5. Remove Steak: Once cooked, remove the steak bites from the skillet and place them on a plate. Cover to keep warm.
6. Make Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
7. Combine: Return the steak bites to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss to coat the steak evenly.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley if using. Serve immediately while hot.
