How to Make Steak Bites

Gather the ingredients listed below and follow the simple directions for a quick and easy garlic butter steak bites in no time.

Ingredients:

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

• 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (optional for a little spice)
• 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

1. Season the steak pieces with salt, black pepper, paprika, and red pepper flakes, if using. Make sure each piece is well coated well.
2. 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.
